In 2014, the company faced a huge problem: delivering Kindle devices before Christmas. They hit a dilemma: there was no ground or air transportation available, and even for short distances, the company was encountering difficulties. The executives, alarmed by the situation, decided to create their own aviation fleet, and thus, Amazon conquered the skies of the world.

Although Amazon had spent the previous year improving its sorting centers and expanding, they still needed to rely on FedEx and UPS for their deliveries. At the time, it was already clear that these companies were unable to keep up with the delivery pace of the retail giant, and Jeff wanted to honor his promise to deliver in up to two days at all costs.

Realizing they needed to have more control over their deliveries, Dave Clark, head of global operations, instructed his transportation team to procure some aircraft. They quickly reached out to various industries to charter some planes, ensuring that in the following years they would not suffer from delivery delays.
