Amazon Air Pauses Operations with Carrier Involved in Miami Plane Crash
Amazon has announced it will pause operations with carrier 21 Air, which was involved in a fatal plane crash at Miami International Airport on September 6. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) reported that the pilot did not respond appropriately to warnings about speed before the aircraft overran the runway, resulting in five deaths. Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel stated the decision followed an internal review and support for the ongoing investigation into the incident. This move reflects Amazon's response to safety concerns related to its third-party logistics partners. The pause could impact 21 Air’s operations with one of its major clients, highlighting growing scrutiny over aviation safety practices among cargo carriers.
