Amazon is planning a significant expansion of its Airbus A330 freighter fleet over the next five years. According to Cargo Facts, the company could add up to 12 additional A330-300 freighters to its existing fleet.
Amazon’s first directly owned Airbus A330-300P2F freighter has also entered service, operated by Alaska Airlines. This marks a new phase in the company’s cargo operations, as Amazon begins deploying directly owned A330 aircraft alongside those leased or operated through its airline partners.
Amazon’s investment in the A330 is expected to support a long-term fleet transition, with the aircraft gradually replacing Boeing 767 freighters and becoming a key part of the Amazon Air network over the next decade.
The planned fleet expansion also highlights the growing role of widebody freighter aircraft in global e-commerce logistics.
