Small islands in the Caribbean like Sabo and St. Eustatius are ecstatic about Dominos' latest service that delivers pizza by plane. This may sound like an extreme feat to pull off but Dominos is taking advantage of flights that already travel to the islands from St. Maarten. Incredibly, the service will only cost islanders $2.75 more than if they were walking right into the pizza shop.
The person placing the order must simply pick a time that one of the flights arrives and Dominos will make sure to bake the pizzas right beforehand. There's no need to worry about the pizza getting cold as the plane rides are only about 15-20 minutes, less time than it takes for regular delivery pizza on mainland.
Islanders are clearly grateful that Dominos delivers their delicious products via plane as they are already placing several requests a day. With this new service, an entire new market of flight-delivered products opens up for small islands like these in the future.

Trend Themes
1. Flight-delivered Products - The success of Dominos' pizza delivery by plane shows the potential for flight-delivered products to other small islands and rural areas.

3. Regional Delivery Partnerships - Collaborations between delivery services and airlines may lead to more convenient and cost-effective delivery options for remote areas.
Industry Implications
1. Food Delivery - The food delivery industry may benefit from partnerships with airlines to expand delivery options to hard-to-reach customers and areas.
2. Cargo Transportation - The cargo transportation industry could explore offering hyper-localized delivery routes that cater to smaller markets and remote locations.
3. Regional Airlines - Regional airlines can explore delivery partnerships to supplement revenue and expand their services beyond traditional passenger transportation.
