Global online shopping giant, Amazon.com, has rolled out the first freighter to operate exclusively for Amazon in a Prime Air livery.
One of twenty such freighters on lease from Atlas Air (5Y, New York JFK), B767-300F N1997A (msn 27310), was formally unveiled to the public during a ceremony at the Seafair Air Show held last week.
"There are currently eleven dedicated airplanes flying for Amazon as of today with additional airplanes rolling out over time," a statement said. "In an ode to its Prime members, Amazon’s first airplane in its dedicated fleet features a tail number made up of a Prime number."
The jet will be joined by twenty more B767 freighters leased from Air Transport Services Group, Inc. (ATSG), parent firm to ABX Air (GB, Wilmington Air Park) and ATI - Air Transport International (8C, Wilmington Air Park).
