Amazon.com IncAmazon-branded Prime Air cargo plane crash in Miami killed five, drawing NTSB investigation and public ties to Amazon Air despite 21 Air operating the flight.
An Amazon-branded cargo plane overran the runway while landing at Miami International Airport on September 6, 2026, killing at least five people and injuring five others, according to officials cited by CNBC and other outlets. The Boeing 767-300, operating as Prime Air Flight 7598 and flown by contract carrier 21 Air LLC, was arriving from San Juan, Puerto Rico, when it struck a van and an SUV outside the airport perimeter. The National Transportation Safety Board has launched a full investigation, and the crash briefly closed all four runways at one of the busiest airports in the US. Amazon's direct operational exposure appears limited because 21 Air operated the aircraft, though the Amazon Air branding still ties the company to the tragedy in the public's eyes. Amazon reported second-quarter revenue of $200.6 billion, up 20% year over year, with operating income up 43% to $27.5 billion, and expects to spend about $220 billion on capital expenditures in 2026 while trailing free cash flow turned negative at $7.6 billion.
