Amazon pauses operations with 21 Air, carrier behind Miami cargo plane crash that killed five
Amazon on Sunday announced that it is halting operations with 21 Air, the cargo carrier operating the plane that crashed last week at Miami International Airport and killed at least five and injured five others.
Amazon has temporarily halted operations with cargo carrier 21 Air following a fatal crash involving one of its planes at Miami International Airport. The incident occurred on September 6 when a Boeing 767-300 operated by 21 Air overshot the runway, crashed into nearby vehicles, and killed at least five people. Amazon cited safety as the primary reason for the pause, emphasizing that they would continue to support the ongoing investigation and those affected.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) are leading the investigation into the crash.
