Notable history

Launched in 2016 as Amazon Prime Air, dropped 'Prime' from the brand in 2020. Operates as a virtual airline — does not hold its own air operator certificate; aircraft are wet-leased from Atlas Air, ABX Air, Sun Country Airlines, ATSG, and Hawaiian Airlines. The Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky hub (CVG) is purpose-built; Amazon's $1.5B investment opened in 2021.

About this profile

Reference data (codes, headquarters, founding year, alliance, ownership) is curated from each carrier's own published materials, the US DOT BTS Form 41 filings, and SEC filings for publicly-listed carriers. Fleet rosters reflect the active in-service fleet at the time of the most recent data refresh; aircraft on order are not counted toward fleet totals. Average fleet age is calculated from the same active fleet.

Hubs and focus cities are sourced from the carrier's own destinations or about pages. Loyalty program partner lists are drawn from each program's published partner roster.

This profile is re-verified on a recurring monthly cadence aligned to the US DOT BTS Form 41 release schedule.
