Developing story – more details to follow. Here is what we know:
On September 6, 2026, at approximately 2:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time, a cargo aircraft operated for Amazon Prime Air suffered a runway overrun upon landing at Miami International Airport in Florida. The flight was operated by cargo carrier 21 Air as Flight 7598 (operating under ICAO code CSB7598 and IATA code 2I7598), arriving on a scheduled domestic cargo service from Luis Muñoz Marín International Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
The aircraft involved was a Boeing 767-306ER (BDSF) freighter registered as N1399A, with manufacturer serial number 27959, painted in Prime Air colors. The widebody twinjet was conducting a landing roll on Runway 30, the airport’s northwest-facing diagonal runway, when it failed to decelerate in time to remain on paved airport surfaces. The jet traveled past the departure overrun end of the runway, broke through the airport boundary perimeter fence, crossed an airport perimeter road, and came to a stop after colliding with several vehicles near the 2100 block on the airport perimeter.
Emergency rescue crews and airport fire units responded to the scene to secure the disabled freighter, manage fuel hazards, and evaluate the flight crew and perimeter personnel. The Federal Aviation Administration immediately instituted a ground stop across Miami International Airport, delaying and diverting arriving traffic while ground teams secured the site and launched preliminary accident investigations alongside the National Transportation Safety Board.
