Amazon Pauses Operations with Cargo Carrier After Miami Plane Crash
Amazon has paused operations with 21 Air, the cargo carrier responsible for an Amazon Air flight that crashed at Miami International Airport on September 6, 2026. The incident resulted in five fatalities when a Boeing 767-300 freighter overran the runway and struck multiple vehicles after landing from San Juan, Puerto Rico. The Federal Aviation Administration confirmed the crash occurred around 2 p.m. ET following an earlier departure from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating and noted that pilots considered aborting the landing due to excessive speed before touchdown on their third flight of the day. Amazon expressed support for the investigation, while 21 Air affirmed confidence in its safety protocols despite the incident.
