Amazon Ditches 21 Air Amid Peak Season Chaos

Amazon has made significant changes to its air cargo network following the suspension of operations with 21 Air, removing seven Boeing 767 freighters from its contracted fleet just weeks before the traditional fourth-quarter peak.

The ecommerce giant announced the move yesterday, a week after a 21 Air-operated aircraft was involved in an incident that led to Amazon's decision to suspend operations with the company.

Amazon typically relies on these air cargo services to meet high demand during the holiday season, but it seems the company has decided to re-evaluate its network and make changes ahead of the peak period.
