This study uses FAA data to show that cargo traffic at specialized airports with little or no passenger traffic outperforms other types of airports in the post-pandemic economy.
Our Amazon Air Briefs seek to fill a void in the understanding of Amazon Air by reviewing publicly available information. Amazon Air's traffic statistics are not publicly available due to its service being provided almost entirely by contractors. Our briefs,
each around 10 - 12 pages long, are produced independently, without any involvement of Amazon Air. They should be viewed as editorial viewpoints, subject to the existing data limitations and covering only certain aspects of the entity's complex operations.
