Amazon pauses operations with cargo carrier after fatal Miami crash
The 21 Air-operated jet overshot a runway at Miami International Airport and hit several vehicles.
Amazon has paused operations with cargo carrier 21 Air following a fatal crash in Miami last weekend. The Boeing 767-300 cargo plane operated by 21 Air overshot a runway at Miami International Airport, crashing into several vehicles and killing five people. The incident occurred on September 6, as the aircraft departed from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel emphasized that safety is their top priority and that they will continue to support the investigation and those affected. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is leading the investigation into the crash, and investigators have recovered the flight recorders to analyze the conditions leading up to the accident.
