Amazon Pauses Work with Cargo Firm After Fatal Crash The news that Amazon has suspended work with 21 Air, the cargo firm whose plane overshot a runway at Miami International Airport last weekend, serves as a stark reminder of the industry's willingness to push safety to its limits in pursuit of efficiency.
The incident killed five people and injured several more, sparking calls for greater accountability from companies like Amazon that rely on third party logistics providers.
The Boeing 767 300 cargo plane, operated by 21 Air, was carrying a shipment of goods bound for Miami when it crashed into nearby vehicles after departing from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
