The company said it bought 11 Boeing 767-300s, including seven from Delta. WestJet’s planes, which it purchased in March, are being converted to cargo planes and will join the Amazon Air network this year in an effort to deliver packages to consumers faster. (The Logic)

Talking point: WestJet only owned four such aircraft, said spokesperson Morgan Bell in an email to The Logic. These planes “played an important initial role in setting up our transatlantic success and provided WestJet with critical widebody experience and an early understanding of the European market in order to successfully introduce our Boeing 787 Dreamliners.” WestJet removed the 767s from service last year. “Having a mix of both leased and owned aircraft in our growing fleet allows us to better manage our operations, which in turn helps us to keep pace in meeting our customer promises,” said Sarah Rhoads, vice-president of Amazon Global Air, in a statement. Amazon Air launched in 2016 and announced last year it was expanding its on-ground operations with several airport hubs. Amazon said third-party carriers will operate the planes. It also expects Delta’s aircraft will join the network next year.
