Amazon’s dedicated air network is a critical conduit for delivering packages across longer distances. It’s a feat that would not be possible without the talented employees who continuously invent within our global operations, technical, and non-technical corporate teams. We work together to innovate on behalf of our rapidly growing number of Prime members who love fast delivery, low prices, and vast selection from Amazon.
In 2020 Amazon Air launched new gateway operations in Richmond, VA, San Juan, Puerto Rico, Austin, TX, Maui and Kona, HI, Los Angeles, CA and New Orleans, LA and regional hubs in Lakeland FL, Rockford, IL and Baltimore, MD. These facilities support our air operations, which help enable fast, free package delivery for Prime customers. Our hubs and gateways process volume from the Amazon Fulfillment Centers, load and depart aircraft, arrive and offload aircraft, and process and depart the volume on linehaul for Last Mile delivery. Amazon Air has operations at more than 35 airports across the U.S., making two-day shipping possible almost anywhere in the country.
Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. Amazon strives to be Earth’s most customer-centric company, Earth’s best employer, and Earth’s safest place to work. Customer reviews, 1-Click shopping, personalized recommendations, Prime, Fulfillment by Amazon, AWS, Kindle Direct Publishing, Kindle, Career Choice, Fire tablets, Fire TV, Amazon Echo, Alexa, Just Walk Out technology, Amazon Studios, and The Climate Pledge are some of the things pioneered by Amazon.
