#9: Amazon Air begins ops at gateway airports, moves some 767F ops away from Atlas Air
During 2019, Amazon Air flights began operating at several new gateway airports, including St. Louis (STL) and the Fort Worth Alliance Airport (AFW). The e-tailer also made a significant change in its operations, shifting several of its leased 767 freighters that had been operated by Atlas Air Worldwide subsidiary carriers from those carriers to Air Transport International, an affiliate carrier of ATSG. Amazon continued to make big aviation news late in 2019 with the surprising selection of a regional passenger carrier – Sun Country Air – for the operation of ten of its 737 freighters.
