Amazon will present this Friday the first cargo plane that will take your mark, Amazon One, with which begin to form their own transport fleet looking to increase control over the network delivery of their products.
the new initiative to speed up the deals came as a growing number of packages that the company delivers worldwide. It is estimated that Amazon moved about 1,000 million packages in 2015, the same number as averaged FedEx three years ago.
Amazon has made the decision after suffering ongoing problems with the reliability of air freight services. In 2013 he offered refunds to customers who received late orders Christmas due to bad weather and an increase in sales over the Internet, which caused delays UPS and FedEx.
The presentation of the first aircraft will take place at the annual Seafair, in the United States. The aircraft will have its inaugural crossing over Lake Washington from Seattle flight.
In addition, Amazon has leased another 40 Boeing aircraft of Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings companies and Air Transport Services Group Inc., they will deliver packages for Prime loyalty program.
Despite the fleet being built, the US company said it plans to continue working with FedEx, UPS and other partners.
