Workers are inspecting an Amazon cargo plane that overshot the runway at Miami International Airport. The incident occurred on September 6, 2026, involving a Boeing 767 loaded with Amazon packages.

Amazon announced on Sunday the suspension of its partnership with 21 Air following the tragic accident that resulted in the deaths of five people. The plane exceeded the runway limits, traveling approximately 1,300 feet beyond the runway before colliding with a van. This van was transporting workers from a plane cleaning company, and all five fatalities were among them. Additionally, five other individuals sustained injuries.

“After the tragic incident last weekend, 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, the operator of Flight 7598,” said Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel. “We’ll continue working to support the investigation and everyone affected.”

Amazon had collaborated with 21 Air, a North Carolina-based company, since 2024. However, 21 Air has not yet commented on Amazon’s decision.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will be examining various factors, including the plane’s ownership history, weather conditions at the time, maintenance records, and operations by 21 Air.

According to information released by the NTSB on September 9, cockpit recordings revealed a pilot warning about excessive speed during the approach and after landing. The recordings also included automated alerts concerning descent speed and terrain proximity. The complete cockpit transcript will be made available after further investigation.

The cargo plane, originally constructed 32 years ago to carry passengers, flew for multiple international airlines until its conversion in 2015 for cargo use, as reported by Flightradar24.
