Amazon executives have decided it’s more economical to operate its own fleet, and is taking advantage of the recent grounding of many Boeing 767-300 aircraft by major airlines (such as American Airlines, which grounded its 767, 757 and A330 widebodies last year due to the Covid-19 travel slowdown. Those of us who flew on 767-300s will likely be glad these stalwarts will remain on flight duty, even modified for cargo flying, than seeing them get parted out and cut up at the breakers.
