The Israeli-founded company has completed over 1,000 successful deliveries during pilot programs.

Food delivery in parts of North Texas has taken to the skies — thanks to an Israeli innovation.
Flytrex, founded by Israeli entrepreneur Yariv Bash, is transforming how residents of Little Elm, Granbury, and now parts of Frisco get their meals.
Bash, who also co-founded SpaceIL — the nonprofit that made history by sending the first private spacecraft to the moon — has brought his aerospace expertise down to Earth, aiming to make drone delivery part of everyday life.
Here’s how it works: Customers download the Flytrex app or use the DoorDash app through the new partnership, and check if their address qualifies.
If it does, they can choose from dozens of local and national restaurants.
A Flytrex employee collects the order, places it in a drone at a launch site, and within minutes, the meal lands in the customer’s yard — faster than by car, and with no stoplights to slow it down.
Flytrex’s autonomous drones can carry up to 6.6 pounds, with next-generation models boosting that to 8.8 pounds. Operating between 8:00 a.m. and 9:30 p.m., the service currently reaches more than 30,000 households, and expansion across Dallas-Fort Worth is already in motion.
According to Bash, the appeal is clear: “Your food arrives hot or cold as intended, and you get contactless delivery right to your backyard. For busy families juggling work and activities, it’s a game-changer,” he told the Dallas Observer.
The Israeli-founded company has completed more than 1,000 successful deliveries during pilot programs, earning strong community support.
Flytrex also employs advanced drone traffic control technology to safely manage multiple flights over suburban areas, while supporting STEM events and boosting local business visibility.
DoorDash executives say larger payloads and extended hours are helping drone delivery move toward becoming a scalable, reliable option for everyday commerce.
For Bash, it’s also a matter of pride — proving that Israeli ingenuity can reshape global logistics.
And while Flytrex’s headquarters remain in Israel, its buzzing drones are now a familiar sight in Texas skies.
For Bash, the mission is clear: “We’re building the FedEx of autonomous aerial delivery, and we’re just getting started.”
