While the plane involved was an Amazon cargo plane, Amazon often doesn't directly own or operate all its aircraft. Instead, it frequently partners with third-party cargo airlines that fly planes under the Amazon Air brand. This allows Amazon to scale its logistics operations efficiently without directly managing a massive airline fleet itself.
