Manna is making air delivery an everyday utility. We build the aircraft, the software and the network behind it, proven over close to 380,000 commercial deliveries in Europe and the United States.
About Manna
At Manna, we're building the infrastructure for air delivery at scale. We design and build our own aircraft, write the software that runs the network, and operate the whole service that connects local businesses directly to their customers.
Customers order through Uber Eats, DoorDash, Deliveroo, Just Eat or the Manna app. The order is picked up at a local store, flown to the address and lowered into the yard on a tether. The aircraft never lands.
I founded Manna in Ireland in 2019 around a simple idea: everyday delivery shouldn't need a road. We've spent the seven years since turning that idea into a working transportation system, flying hundreds of thousands of real customer orders to communities in Europe and the United States.
Along the way, we've built far more than an aircraft. My team has built the technology, the operations and the regulatory capability it takes to make autonomous delivery part of everyday life.
What started as a handful of flights in Ireland is becoming a new delivery layer for everyday commerce, and we've designed it to scale across communities, categories and markets.
The road solved the last mile for the last century.
We're building what comes next.

Who flies with us
Seven years of commercial operations, in figures.
The aircraft cruises 210 to 260 feet above the ground and never lands. Over the drop point it holds position, lowers the order on a tether, releases it and climbs away. The whole delivery takes about 20 seconds.
From the first commercial flights in Ireland to the first full-scale US network in Tulsa.
2018
Bobby Healy founded Manna to move small orders the last few miles by electric aircraft instead of by car. Commercial deliveries to homes began in a single Irish town in 2019.
2021
The Irish Aviation Authority granted Manna a Light UAS Operator Certificate, the first for an air delivery company in Europe. It allows us to self-authorise certain operations rather than apply flight by flight.
2023
Manna delivered Halloween treats to homes in North Texas, its first operation in the United States. Coca-Cola HBC invested in the company the same month.
2024
Manna opened in Blanchardstown, its first Dublin suburb, with Boojum as a launch partner. Coffee, groceries and restaurant orders began arriving by air to thousands of homes.
2025
Wolt in Finland in January. Just Eat in Dublin in March. Deliveroo in Dublin in June. Customers order through the app they already use and Manna flies the delivery.
2026
Uber Eats joined in February. A $50 million Series B in April brought total funding to $110 million. In July, Manna opened its first full-scale US operation in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with Kenny Jacobs joining as Executive Chair and President.
Now
Cherry Street in Tulsa is delivering today, with more Tulsa bases opening next. Dallas and Dubai follow, and the UK Civil Aviation Authority has granted Manna a SAIL III operational authorisation.
Built by us
Manna designs and builds its own airframe, flight software, ground systems and the tether that lowers each order. Our current aircraft, Manna 2, is all-electric and was designed for suburban delivery from the start: quiet in cruise, redundant in every critical system, and able to carry most orders a household places. Owning the whole stack means we can change the aircraft, the software or the operation ourselves, and quickly.
I love manna so much so far. I love the news of the expansions and aids to the local fire dept, too. Y'all rock.
So impressive!!! Will definitely be using again!! Genius!!!
Loved it! Pleasantly surprised that my drinks were still perfectly chilled!
Amazing! Hot food!
Great goodie bag and the delivery was perfect. Love the local products. This is going to be a great service for Tulsa
Without a doubt one of the most fantastic services I’ve ever experienced. This will change people’s lives in Tulsa. Cannot wait for it to reach everyone.
Aerospace and software engineers, pilots and dispatchers, and the crews who open and run each base work as one company across Ireland and the United States. Tulsa is becoming our US manufacturing and operations hub, and we expect to create more than 1,000 jobs there over the next three years.
