Amazon Halts Cargo Operations with 21 Air After Fatal Plane Crash
Amazon has temporarily halted its cargo operations with 21 Air following a tragic incident at Miami International Airport last week. The crash resulted in five fatalities and injuries to five others.
The incident occurred when an Amazon Prime Air flight, operated by 21 Air, overran the runway during landing. Investigators are still determining what caused the crash, but initial findings have raised concerns about the plane's speed and how the crew handled the landing.
Amazon has paused its operations with 21 Air to support the investigation and review surrounding circumstances. The company's Prime Air cargo network uses third-party carriers like 21 Air for some flights and aircraft.
