Drone systems and methods for pickup and delivery of multiple packages include communicating to one or more UAVs over one or more wireless networks; receiving multiple delivery requests, each delivery request specifying any of a pickup location, one or more packages, and a delivery location for each package; determining whether multiple packages including a first package for delivery at a first delivery location and a second package for delivery at a second delivery location are deliverable in a single flight of a UAV; selecting a UAV of the one or more UAVs for delivering the multiple packages; and directing the UAV to pick up the multiple packages, and deliver the first package at the first delivery location and the second package at the second delivery location, wherein the air traffic control system provides a flight plan to the UAV based on the first and second delivery locations.
