Amazon suspends flights with 21 Air after fatal Miami crash
Amazon has temporarily suspended its cargo operations with 21 Air, following a fatal crash of an Amazon Air flight at Miami International Airport on September 5, 2026. The aircraft, which had flown from San Juan, Puerto Rico, overran the runway by about 1,300 feet, colliding with vehicles and resulting in at least five deaths and five injuries. Amazon announced the suspension on September 14, citing safety as a top priority and its commitment to supporting investigations by the NTSB, FAA, and local authorities. 21 Air, an independent cargo operator that also serves DHL, has pledged full cooperation and set up a support hotline. The cause of the accident remains under investigation, with flight data and cockpit voice recorders recovered. Amazon will adjust its air cargo network in the interim.
German Less-than-Truckload Shipping Costs Rise Nearly 5%
According to the DSLV Bundesverband Spedition und Logistik's Cost Index for General Cargo, shipment-related costs in the German less-than-truckload (LTL) market increased by an average of 4.7% in the first half of 2026 compared to the previous year. The main cost drivers were personnel expenses, which rose by 6.2% and account for 50.7% of total costs, and fuel and energy costs, which surged by 10.7% due to the conflict at the Strait of Hormuz. Handling costs increased by 8.6%, largely due to a 27.3% rise in pallet procurement costs. Other costs rose moderately, while toll costs remained stable. The index, based on data from 12 LTL networks and 15.9 million shipments, indicates growing margin pressure for LTL networks unless they can pass on higher costs through pricing or efficiency gains.
