Atlas Air Worldwide has signed a deal with Amazon to fly 20 Boeing 767-300s for the online retailer under a 10-year lease deal that grants Amazon rights to acquire as much as 30 percent of the cargo carrier. The deal marks the second such move by Amazon to “supplement” its delivery capacity since March, when it signed a similar contract with Wilmington, Ohio-based Air Transport Services Group (ATSG) covering another 20 Boeing 767s.
