Amazon Air is quietly expanding toward Asia's doorstep Unlisted Video

It's looking like e-commerce giant Amazon is building a logistics empire to compete with UPS and FedEx. Business Insider reports that beginning June 27, Amazon will start daily operations out of Stevens Anchorage International Airport , one of the 20-plus US airports from which Amazon Air flies. It does not appear that the move points to Amazon's desire to cater to Alaska's 737,000 residents, but rather it shows that Amazon is positioning itself to start flying to Asia.
