Amazon has announced to lease 12 additional 767-300 converted cargo
aircraft, increasing their fleet to over 80 aircraft as part of its
dedicated air cargo network to help people who rely on items they need
delivered directly to their doorstep in these unprecedented times.
The
ecommerce giant leased the converted cargo aircraft from Air Transport
Services Group (ATSG that will join Amazon's existing fleet of 70
aircraf.
One of the new aircraft joined Amazon's air cargo operations in May 2020, with the remaining 11 to be delivered in 2021.
The
combined experience in the industry and access to a fleet of 767 cargo
aircraft make us an ideal partner to support the growth of Amazon Air's
fleet, the company said in a statement late Wednesday.
Amazon Air
has played a central role during the COVID-19 pandemic by transporting
essential PPE supplies for Amazon associates, frontline health workers
and relief organizations across the US.
"Amazon Air is critical
to ensuring fast delivery for our customers – both in the current
environment we are facing, and beyond," said Sarah Rhoads, Vice
President of Amazon Global Air.
"During a time when so many of
our customers rely on us to get what they need without leaving their
homes, expanding our dedicated air network ensures we have the capacity
to deliver what our customers want: great selection, low prices and fast
shipping speeds," Rhoads added.
