Atlas Air Worldwide “is the latest tenant” to move into Wilmington Air Park, after that company signed an agreement with Amazon to fly cargo for the online retail giant, the Dayton Daily News reports. Amazon has “now leased a total of 40 Boeing jets from Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings and Air Transport Services Group Inc. (see our January 19, 2016 blog post), which is Wilmington Air Park’s biggest and busiest tenant,” according to the article. Daniel Evers, executive director for the Clinton County Port Authority, said Atlas Air Worldwide will be flying “one flight seven days a week,” which is anticipated to “generate some employment.” The air park “lost 7,000 jobs in 2008 when DHL announced it was leaving”; DHL donated the air park to the port authority in 2010.
