Amazon has suspended its use of 21 Air, the cargo airline whose plane went off a runway in Miami in a fatal crash, NBC News reports. The online retailer paused operations with the carrier after the accident, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The aircraft careened off the Miami runway, Dallas News reports. The crash was fatal, according to NBC News. Further details of the incident were not available in the source material.
The crash has drawn scrutiny to the jet's operator and to why it was flying for Amazon, according to NPR. A lawyer for a survivor has alleged pilot negligence in the crash, NewsNation reports. No additional information about that allegation was available.
The suspension means Amazon has halted cargo flights handled by 21 Air while the aftermath of the crash is addressed. Amazon relies on outside carriers to move packages by air, and the decision to pause work with 21 Air affects that arrangement.
It is not clear from the reporting how long the suspension will last or what conditions would need to be met for Amazon to resume using the carrier. Investigations into the crash and the negligence allegation are likely to shape what happens next.
