Amazon suspends its partnership and pauses operations with cargo carrier 21 Air after a Boeing 767 freighter loaded with Amazon packages careens off and overshoots a runway at Miami Airport, killing five people. The crash occurs during a flight last week, and Amazon’s decision follows the incident.

Multiple outlets report that Amazon has suspended or paused its use of 21 Air as part of its response. PBS NewsHour and Quartz add that 21 Air has operated Amazon packages since 2024, and Quartz reports the aircraft traveled about 1,300 feet past the runway’s end and struck a van.

While most coverage focuses on the operational pause, the New York Post raises a different angle by citing a former pilot who warns about 21 Air’s safety record. Other outlets attribute the action directly to Amazon’s decision to pause its relationship, without emphasizing allegations. City News Toronto and CBS News similarly describe the suspension as immediate following the crash.
