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.

  • Wilmington Air Park Certified Part 139 by Faa
    1113 Airport Road Wilmington, Ohio 45177 www.wilmingtonairpark.com For Immediate Release WILMINGTON AIR PARK CERTIFIED PART 139 BY FAA WILMINGTON, OH – MAY 12, 2017 – The Wilmington Air Park has once again earned its Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Part 139 Certification, recognizing that the airport facilities, staffing, operations and infrastructure are on par with other large airports around the country. Airport operating certificates serve to ensure safety in airport transportation. An airport, in order to secure this certification from the FAA, must implement and maintain certain operation and safety standards and provide for such things as on-site firefighting, and rescue equipment. “This certification is important to maintain for both our current and future aviation tenants,” said Dan Evers, Executive Director of the Clinton County Port Authority. “It confirms a high level of readiness for airlines that would be considering operations at the Wilmington Air Park.” The FAA visits each airport prior to renewing certification to review operations, navigational aids, infrastructure, airport records, safety practices and more. FAA representatives spent over two days at the Wilmington Air Park in October,2016. At that time, the inspector indicated it was a good inspection and that he enjoyed working with the group of people on the airport. “We had a short list of follow-up items, as a result of the inspection,” said Evers. “Those items were addressed immediately and that information provided to the FAA.” The Wilmington Air Park is classified as a Part 139 Class IV, Index A airport. There are 80 Class IV airports in the country – with that determination being based on airport use, and expected aircraft size and traffic volume.

  • Port Authority Board Authorizes Grant Application; Renews Insurance
    + April 13, 2021 PORT AUTHORITY BOARD AUTHORIZES GRANT APPLICATION; RENEWS INSURANCE New SBDC Representative Introduced (Wilmington, Ohio) At its April meeting, the Clinton County Port Authority Board discussed the continuing need to address infrastructure at the Wilmington Air Park. To that end, it reviewed and approved an application to the Ohio Department of Transportation, Office of Aviation for projects estimated to total nearly $900,000. “We have been very fortunate to receive grant funds from ODOT Aviation for several projects at the Wilmington Air Park,” said Clinton County Port Authority Executive Director Daniel Evers. “This annual competitive grant program application is a collaborative effort of the Port Authority staff, LGSTX Services staff and Michael Baker International staff. The CCPA, over the past five years, has secured over $750,000 in grant funds through this particular program.” More specifically, the projects proposed for the FY 2022 grant cycle would address milling and replacing asphalt in the overrun area of Runway 22R, concrete panel repair and replacement on Taxiways C and D, and earthwork around the navigational aids to preserve their life at the airport. “These funds, if awarded, would be available in 2022, and would require, as our application is proposed, a match of 21 percent from the Port Authority for each project,” added Evers. “Nearly all the airports in Ohio are eligible to apply for these funds, so the competition is significant.” The Port Authority Board also reviewed and approved a proposal from CORSA (County Risk Sharing Authority) to provide property and liability insurance to the Port Authority for the coming year.

    News Release Public Interest Center | P.O. Box 1049 | Columbus, OH | 43216-1049 FOR RELEASE: January 31, 2011 MEDIA CONTACT: Heather Lauer, (614) 644-2160 CITIZEN CONTACT: Erika Wiggins, (614) 644-2160 DHL Express Mismanaged Contaminated Storm Water Discharges To resolve past violations associated with illegal discharges from Wilmington Air Park, 145 Hunter Drive, Wilmington (Clinton County) to Lytle and Cowen creeks and Indian Run, DHL Express has agreed to pay an $80,000 penalty to Ohio EPA. Three companies, Wilmington Air Park LLC, ABX Air and DHL Express, were involved in owning and operating the airport. In 2003, Wilmington Air Park LLC (an affiliate of DHL Express) purchased the airport from Airborne Express. ABX Air then served as a contractor for DHL Express and provided DHL services at the airport. Until January 2009, the airport served as a hub for DHL Express’ cargo handling, air transportation services and day-to-day operations. Storm water management was one of the services ABX Air provided to DHL Express. The storm water management system collected and treated rain water, snow melt and liquids generated when aircraft and runways were de-iced during winter months. In June 2004, DHL Express consolidated services and greatly increased the number of aircraft it operated in Wilmington including having earlier and later flights. This increased the amount of de-icing wastewater. The treatment system at the airport was not properly sized for the amount and concentration of wastewater it received and violated its discharge permit in 2007 and 2008. Biological surveys of the affected streams showed impacts from the pollution.
