Amazon Air is projected to have 200 cargo jets by 2027 or 2028, bringing it close to parity with UPS based on the latter’s current fleet, according to a study from DePaul University.
The study, from DePaul’s Chaddick Institute for Metropolitan Development, said Amazon Air has grown to 42 planes since its launch in 2016, with plans to expand to 70 by 2021, which at that point would put it on parity with DHL. The study estimates Amazon’s express service is making 100 flights per day domestically.
