Systems and methods for package pickup and delivery, in an air traffic control system configured to manage Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) flight in a geographic region, include communicating to one or more UAVs over one or more wireless networks. The systems and methods also include directing a UAV to deliver a package to a delivery location, wherein the package is classified for an urgent delivery. The systems and methods further include the air traffic control system directing the UAV to travel at a higher speed than other, non-urgent, UAV traffic controlled by the air traffic control system and to travel at a different altitude than the non-urgent UAV traffic.
