We propose a novel context-aware drone delivery framework for optimizing package delivery through skyway networks in smart cities. We reformulate the problem of finding an optimal drone service delivery pathway as a more congruent and elegant drone delivery service composition problem. In this respect, we propose a novel line-of-sight heuristic-based context-aware composition algorithm that selects and composes near-optimal drone delivery services. We conducted an extensive experiment using a real dataset to show the robustness of our proposed approach.
