Amazon Cargo Plane Overshoots Miami Runway, Causing Flight Disruptions

An Amazon cargo plane overshot a runway at Miami International Airport on Sunday, temporarily disrupting operations at one of the busiest travel hubs in the United States. The aircraft, which had arrived from San Juan, Puerto Rico, came to a stop beyond the runway, with plumes of black smoke visible in images and videos from the scene.

The Federal Aviation Administration reported that the incident occurred at approximately 2 p.m. local time. The plane had been heading into Florida from the Puerto Rican capital before the overrun. No injuries have been reported, though the smoke prompted immediate attention from airport emergency crews.

As a precaution, flight operations at the airport were paused while authorities assessed the situation. The FAA is expected to investigate the cause of the runway overrun, which remains under review. The aircraft is operated by Amazon Air, a cargo service that frequently connects major logistics hubs across the Americas.

Passengers and airport staff were advised of delays as the airport worked to resume normal operations. The incident highlights the ongoing safety challenges faced by cargo carriers, which often operate under tight schedules and varying weather conditions. Further details about the aircraft's condition or the extent of the runway damage have not yet been released.
