21 Air Safety Scandal Exposed | Miami News

A Boeing 767 cargo plane operated by 21 Air—linked to Houston Astros owner Jim Crane—crashed off a Miami runway, killing five. The airline, contracted by Amazon, faces mounting scrutiny after former employees allege systemic safety failures: managers ignored reports, pushed crews to fly while exhausted, and flew planes with mechanical issues. One pilot called it “lip service” to safety. The Department of Labor is investigating past claims, including retaliation against whistleblowers. Issues ranged from inadequate rest for pilots to faulty equipment and language barriers. 21 Air says it’s cooperating with the crash probe, while Amazon defers to regulators on both fronts.
