Bloomberg reported that Amazon.com will lease 20 Boeing 767 freighters from Air Transport Services Group in order to establish its own air delivery network.
Bloomberg noted that leasing the aircraft will allow Amazon a chance to test how effective it would be to transport products without relying on UPS and FedEx.
Amazon has had plans of self-delivery since 2013, said Bloomberg, with the project originally called Dragon Boat.
