Amazon Air is closing its air cargo operation in San Antonio, which will result in 65 contract workers employed with Worldwide Flight Services Inc. to be laid off.
The Seattle-based e-commerce giant did not provide a reason for the facility’s closure. Amazon Air is Amazon’s in-house cargo airline.“We’re always evaluating our operations to better serve our customers and have made the decision to stop operations at Kelly Field,” Amazon spokesperson Sam Stephenson said in an email to FreightWaves. “Worldwide Flight Services is a valued partner and we’ll continue working with them at other locations. This decision will not impact customer deliveries in the San Antonio area.”
