This certification is a critical requirement for drone delivery companies aiming to operate at a national scale.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1086\" data-end=\"1700\">\u201cThis is a momentous achievement for DEXA,\u201d said Beth Flippo, CEO of DEXA. \u201cFor a small company like ours to earn the same certifications as some of the largest corporations in the world is a true testament to our team\u2019s innovation, dedication, and relentless pursuit of advancing drone logistics. We began this journey through the IPP and BEYOND programs, and we are proud to continue advancing toward full Type Certification.
