Many Reykjavik residents could soon expect drone deliveries to their door.
The move puts Iceland in the vanguard of drone deployment, ahead of other European capitals.
Regulatory hurdles
Aviation regulators around the world have been working to encourage the responsible use of drones.

Aha is permitted to fly 13 routes around Reykjavik, and its drones can make detours of up to 700m in order to reach customers. This gives them effective coverage of around half the city.

Despite the possibilities, some remain concerned. The potential privacy implications and risk of drones falling from the sky have led to a mixed reception from regulators and the public.
