Online retailer Amazon has announced a scheme that intends to reduce the dependency on third party freighter services through the leasing of more than 20,000 freight aircraft in partnership with Air Transport Services Group (ATSG), according to the International Business Times.
Dave Clark, Senior Vice President of Worldwide Operations and Customer Service at Amazon, said: “We offer Earth's largest selection, great prices and ultra-fast delivery promises to a growing group of ‘Prime’ members.
“… We're excited to supplement our existing delivery network with a great new provider, ATSG, by adding 20 planes to ensure air cargo capacity to support one and two-day delivery for customers.”
