SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle-based Amazon is unveiling its first branded cargo plane, one of 40 jetliners that will make up the e-commerce giant's own air transportation network as it takes more control of its delivery process.
On Friday afternoon the company's first branded "Prime Air" cargo plane, designated Amazon One, will buzz over Seattle's Lake Washington, just before the Navy's Blue Angels take to the skies, a company official said.
Despite its growing fleet of aircraft, Amazon said it plans to continue to use FedEx, UPS and other transportation partners.
"Because of our growth and the sheer amount of packages, we are supplementing our transportation needs," Clark said.
