"Amazon announces groundbreaking for its massive CVG cargo hub"
https://www.cincinnati.com/story/new...pDqOAhx_BzVhyY
There are two Amazon ramps planned at CVG. They started building the southern ramp, which is larger than the existing DHL ramp. It is reported to be able to accommodate about 100 aircraft. The northern ramp, which will be constructed after the southern ramp, is much bigger than the ramp on the south side.
Also, Amazon, at some point in the past 2018?2017? bought the whole Comair Airline HQ building/complex. They are currently renovating it so they can move in to the whole facility...think they are using part of it now.

Wonder when a similar business plan ( Prime Air ) will be enacted in Europe. It doesn't take much imaginative thought to realise that the market potential in Europe is just as great as in the US.

Amazon already partners with DHL in the UK and Throughout the EU.
FYI- UK mail is actually DHL. The Royal Post does indeed deliver for Amazon too. Dont forget that amazon now runs the most popular motoring show in the UK now after the BBC let it go. Amazon is growing fast however the taxes/tariffs/credits are far more difficult

Well played... I hope we follow their lead and do the exact same thing. If Bezos wants to enter the freight/logistics free market with PrimeAir, he can start delivering ALL his packages, tomorrow.
