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 crash at Miami International Airport that killed five people. The Boeing 767-300 operated by 21 Air overshot the runway and came to rest about 1,300 feet beyond, with its right engine catching fire. Amazon informed 21 Air leadership about the decision on Sunday, emphasizing safety as its top priority.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating the incident, which occurred on September 6 when the plane arrived from San Juan, Puerto Rico. The crash prompted a large-scale emergency response, with over 60 fire units responding to the scene. The NTSB is examining 21 Air's safety procedures, its arrangement with Amazon, and the pilots' actions as part of its investigation.
