Amazon Halts Cargo Flights With 21 Air After Fatal Miami Crash
AMZN sits 31% above its 52-week low of $196.
Summary
Amazon is pausing operations with 21 Air, the cargo carrier whose Amazon-branded plane crashed in Miami, killing five people. The decision follows the NTSB's ongoing investigation into the accident, which has raised questions about 21 Air's safety practices and the pilots' actions. 21 Air operates 8 of its 17 planes for Amazon, so the pause could disrupt a portion of Amazon's air cargo network. The move underscores Amazon's sensitivity to safety and reputational risk in its logistics operations. Watch for any further regulatory findings or changes to Amazon's cargo partnerships.
