E-commerce giant Amazon has suspended its operations with cargo carrier 21 Air following a fatal crash in Miami. The Amazon spokesperson said that the decision was made in light of the tragic incident that occurred last weekend. On September 6th, a Boeing jet operated by 21 Air overshot a runway at Miami International Airport, colliding with several vehicles and resulting in the deaths of five people and injuries to five others.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is leading the investigation into the crash. Amazon's spokesperson Kelly Nantel emphasized that safety is their top priority, both in their own operations and when partnering with other firms. The NTSB chairwoman, Jennifer Homendy, described the crash site as a scene of "utter devastation."
The flight recorders have been recovered for analysis. 21 Air is an all-cargo carrier that operates flights for major firms, including Amazon and DHL.
