Amazon.com Inc. suspended work with cargo carrier 21 Air LLC, which operated the Sept. 6 flight that overran the runway at Miami and killed five people on the ground.
“We’ve spent time supporting the investigation and reviewing some of the surrounding circumstances, and we’ve decided to pause our operations with 21 Air,” Amazon said on its news blog on Sunday. “We’ll continue working to support the investigation and everyone affected.”
Flight 7598, a Boeing Co. 767 freighter, ran off the tarmac at Miami International Airport and careered into two vehicles. One of the pilots had called for the landing to be aborted after the jet touched down with too much speed, according to details from the cockpit audio released by the US National Transportation Safety Board.
In a statement, 21 Air said it’s “confident in our safety policies, procedures and training.” The company said it’s focused on “working closely with the NTSB and all our partners, like Amazon, as the investigation continues.”
All five people killed and five others injured in the crash were in the two vehicles hit by the aircraft.
