Hawaiian Airlines slowly adds freighters for Amazon business

Hawaiian Airlines has commenced operating a second Airbus A330-300 cargo jet for Amazon on a new route between New York’s JFK airport and the retail behemoth’s West Coast air logistics hub in San Bernardino, California, the company reported in quarterly earnings Tuesday.

Wisconsin court affirms Amazon Flex drivers were not independent contractors

A group of Amazon drivers who are part of the company’s Flex program have been affirmed by Wisconsin’s Supreme Court to be employees rather than independent contractors.

It has been streamlining operations in the U.S. by prioritizing larger planes and major hubs, but relying less on hubs in Europe as flight activity decreases, according to a report published Thursday.

The air logistics unit’s meteoric growth has ended after seven years, but the company was able to maintain operating levels at a time when many cargo...

Amazon’s return of leased cargo jets hurts ATSG profit

Less leasing demand for freighter aircraft significantly contributed to a 12% reduction in adjusted core operating profit at Air Transport Services Group during 2023, including a 20% decline in the fourth quarter, and to management’s decision to further slash the budget for investment in new equipment. 

Lower revenue and higher costs for ATSG’s transportation segment, especially passenger airline Omni International, also weighed on earnings.

The cargo-oriented aviation company gave a sober...
