According to aircraft industry executives, Amazon Air has joined the scramble for freighter capacity and, with its bottomless pockets, looks likely to bag a long-haul fleet, allowing it to adjust its network strategy.
Reports indicate that Amazon is eyeing ten A330-300s and an unspecified number of 777-300s.
Christopher Karp, a consultant with the Network and Fleet Management Solution Group at Lufthansa Consulting, told The Loadstar that, with more than 850 777-300s in the air, Amazon was likely to succeed in its quest.
