Amazon Grounds Cargo Carrier Following Deadly Crash in Miami
Amazon has suspended its use of cargo carrier 21 Air following a deadly crash at Miami International Airport on September 6. The decision came after the company reviewed some of the circumstances surrounding the incident as part of the National Transportation Safety Board's investigation into its cause.
The Boeing 767 aircraft involved in the crash was 32 years old, and it is unclear what specific factors led Amazon to suspend its use of 21 Air. In a statement, 21 Air offered condolences to those affected by the crash and said they were cooperating fully with authorities.
Amazon did not provide further information on why it chose to suspend its use of 21 Air, but the decision suggests that the company is taking steps to ensure its cargo operations are safe and reliable. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safety protocols in the transportation industry.
