Amazon Air boosts cargo network with 11 new aircraft
Amazon has purchased 11 Boeing 767-300 aircraft as it looks to speed up delivery times for US customers.
The e-commerce giant is buying seven aircraft from Delta and four from WestJet, which will join its Amazon Air cargo network in 2021 and 2022.
“Our goal is to continue delivering for customers across the US in the way that they expect from us, and purchasing our own aircraft is a natural next step toward that goal,” says Sarah Rhoads, Vice President at Amazon Global Air.
“Having a mix of both leased and owned aircraft in our growing fleet allows us to better manage our operations, which in turn helps us to keep pace in meeting our customer promises.”
