  • Amazon Air's Summer Surge
    Amazon Air’s Summer Surge Strategic Shifts for a Retailing Giant Chaddick Policy Brief by Joseph P. Schwieterman, Jacob Walls and Borja González Morgado September 10, 2020 Our analysis of Amazon Air’s summer operations indicates that the carrier… Added nine planes from May – July, the most it has added over a three-month span in its history Has expanded flight activity 30%+ since April through fleet expansion and improved utilization Adheres to a point-to-point strategy, deemphasizing major huBs even more than last spring Significantly changed service patterns in the Northeast and Florida, creating several mini-hubs Continues to deemphasize international flying while adding lift to Hawaii and Puerto Rico Amazon Air expanded rapidly during summer 2020, a period otherwise marked by sharp year-over-year declines in air-cargo traffic.1 This fully owned subsidiary of retailing giant Amazon made notable moves affecting its strategic trajectory.2 This brief offers an overview of Amazon Air’s evolving orientation between May and late August 2020. The document draws upon publicly available data from a variety of informational sources. Joseph Schwieterman, Ph.D. ñ Data on 1,400 takeoffs and landings of Amazon Air planes from flightaware.com and flightradar24 in April and September 2020. ñ Information on fleet registration from various published sources, including Planespotters.com. ñ Geographic analysis of the proximity of Amazon Air airports to its 340 fulfillment centers. Jacob Walls The results build upon on our May 2020 Brief, showing the dynamic nature of the carrier’s schedules, its differences from air-cargo integrators such as FedEx, its heavy emphasis on cargo-oriented airports with little passenger traffic, and why we believe its fleet could grow to 200 planes by 2028.
