    ATLAS Air has delivered its 12th and final freighter to Amazon as part of an agreement to operate a dedicated fleet for the e-commerce giant. Arriving in the run-up to the festive season, the freighter will serve Amazon's domestic US air network, Prime Air.

    The delivery of the Boeing 767-300 converted freighter completes Amazon's freighter network of 40 aircraft: 20 from Atlas and 20 from ATSG.

    "Our delivery of 20 aircraft to Amazon over the last 28 months is a significant achievement," said Atlas president William Flynn. "E-commerce is the fastest growing air cargo segment and we are excited to continue our partnership with Amazon as it delivers innovative service to its customers."

    Under long-term commercial agreements announced in 2016, Atlas Air Worldwide's airline subsidiary, Atlas Air Inc, operates the aircraft for Amazon on a crew, maintenance and insurance (CMI) basis and its leasing unit, Titan Aviation, dry leases the aircraft to Amazon, London's Air Cargo News reported.
