A damaged car next to the wreckage of an Amazon Prime Air cargo plane overran a runway at Miami International Airport, in Miami, Florida, U.S., in this screengrab obtained from a handout video.<\/p>\n

Amazon said on Sunday itwas pausing operations with Miami-based 21 Air, the cargo carrier that operated the Amazon-branded plane that crashed in Miami, killing five people.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the tragic incident last weekend, we\u2019ve spent time supporting the investigation and reviewing some of the surrounding circumstances and we\u2019ve decided to pause our operations with 21 Air, the operator of Flight 7598,\u201d Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel said in a statement to Reuters.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll continue working to support the investigation and everyone affected.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last week, an Amazon Prime Air cargo flight overran a runway and crashed while landing at Miami International Airport.<\/p>\n

Prime Air Flight 7598 overran the airport\u2019s diagonal runway shortly before 2 p.m. EDT (1800 GMT) and struck multiple vehicles on the ground, officials said.<\/p>\n

The plane was a 32-year-old Boeing 767-300 freighter that operated as a passenger jet for various airlines from 1994 to 2015, according to Flightradar24, a flight tracking service.<\/p>\n

The National Transportation Safety Board, which is investigating the crash, said last week the pilots of the Amazon Prime Air cargo plane considered aborting the landing after the aircraft touched down, citing evidence from a flight data recorder.<\/p>\n

The NTSB also said one pilot cautioned that they were flying \u201ctoo fast\u201d just over a minute before touching down on the runway that they overran.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe remain focused on supporting the families and loved ones who were impacted by this accident, as well as working closely with the NTSB and all our partners, like Amazon, as the investigation continues. We are confident in our safety policies, procedures and training,\u201d 21 Air said in a statement to Reuters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD\/HANDOUT VIA REUTERS \/ SEPT. 8 A damaged car next to the wreckage of an…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":399092,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[558,123,125,124],"class_list":["post-399091","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-miami","tag-business","tag-miami","tag-miami-headlines","tag-miami-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399091","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=399091"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/399091\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/399092"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=399091"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=399091"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=399091"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
