Abstract
Embodiments include methods, systems, and computer program products method for aerial vehicle in-flight servicing. The computer-implemented method includes monitoring, using a processor, an aerial vehicle status of a delivery aerial vehicle. The processor compares the aerial vehicle status of the aerial vehicle to a delivery schedule associated with the delivery aerial vehicle. The processor further assigns a service aerial vehicle to provide service in response to the aerial vehicle status conflicting with the delivery schedule associated with the delivery aerial vehicle. The method further couples the delivery aerial vehicle to the service aerial vehicle while the delivery aerial vehicle and service aerial vehicle are in-flight. The method further provides power source assistance or aerial vehicle component assistance to the delivery aerial vehicle by the service aerial vehicle while the delivery aerial vehicle and service aerial vehicle are in-flight.
