Atlas winds down 767 CMI ops for Amazon Air, 737s to follow by May

Atlas Air, a leading U.S. cargo and charter airline and aircraft lessor, has officially confirmed the end of its 767 Crew, Maintenance, and Insurance (CMI) operations for Amazon Air, with plans to complete all remaining 737 CMI flying by the end of May.

The airline operated its final 767F flight for Amazon Air on April 6, 2025, from Mexico City International Airport (MEX) to Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport (OPF), as confirmed by data from FlightRadar24 and the airline.

In a statement given to The STAT Trade Times, Atlas Air said, “Atlas Air can confirm that we finished all 767 CMI operations for Amazon, and are on track to complete 737 CMI flying in late May. As previously announced, Atlas Air successfully reached an agreement in May 2024 to fully exit Amazon CMI operations, which no longer align with our strategic plans. Separately, through Titan, we are pleased to extend the dry leasing portion of the relationship with Amazon.

We are proud of the solid performance we delivered throughout our nearly decade-long partnership with Amazon. We look forward to continuing our relationship together through our Titan business.”

As part of its strategic realignment, Atlas Air announced in May last year that it would fully exit the domestic 737 and 767 CMI flying it performs for Amazon by mid-2025. In parallel, it extended the dry lease agreements for 16 Boeing 767-300 converted freighters by three years through Titan Aviation Leasing, a freighter-focused leasing company and wholly owned subsidiary of Atlas Air, with the extensions beginning after the original 10-year contracts expire.

In an earlier statement, Atlas Air mentioned, “With the Amazon CMI service ending in mid-2025, we will reallocate resources to expand our investments in global, long-haul service with widebody aircraft.

The widebody market is where we continue to see the strongest demand from our customers, as well as expanding opportunities in global e-commerce. Atlas continues to expand its fleet of widebody freighters with the addition of eight new 747 and 777 aircraft in 2024. These aircraft will be placed immediately into service to complement the continued strong performance of the company’s 767 fleet in service to U.S. military and commercial customers.”

Amazon Air currently operates a fleet of 99 aircraft, according to Planespotters.net, primarily consisting of Airbus A330-300Fs, Boeing 737-800Fs, and Boeing 767-300Fs.

Notably, according to current data from Planespotters.net, its fleet of 10 Airbus A330-300Fs is operated by Hawaiian Airlines, with 8 currently in service and 2 undergoing conversion. Among its Boeing 737-800Fs, 9 are operated by ASL Airlines Ireland, 5 by Atlas Air, 15 by Sun Country Airlines, and 1 by Quikjet Airlines. As for its Boeing 767-300F fleet, 2 are operated by Cargojet Airways, 9 by ABX Air, 6 by 21 Air, 1 by Atlas Air, and 41 by Air Transport International.

Atlas Air has provided CMI services for 25 converted freighters operated by Amazon Air, including eight Boeing 737-800Fs and 17 Boeing 767-300Fs. In addition, Titan Aviation Leasing has leased a total of 19 Boeing 767s to Amazon. Of these, lease agreements for 16 aircraft have been extended.
