The Boeing 767-375(ER) (msn 25865/430) was originally ordered by Canadian Airlines International in 1992, but not taken up by Canadian and instead delivered to Guinness Peat Aviation as a white-tail aircraft in July 1992, who then leased the aircraft to China Southern Airlines. After being sold to GE Capital Aviation Services, the aircraft was then leased to LAN Airlines, which operated the aircraft for 17 years within various divisions of LAN, before being returned to the lessor, by this time CIT Aerospace. CIT then leased the aircraft to Atlas Air, who then had the airframe converted to a freighter for use with Amazon Air at Paya Lebar Air Base, subsequently taking full ownership of the aircraft from the lessor upon completion of the conversion, according to FAA records, the airframe had accumulated more than 90,000 hours over 23,000 flights prior to its hull loss, the Boeing 767 aircraft was nearly 27 years old at the time of the accident.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will investigate the accident, Boeing said: "We are concerned about the safety of the three people reported to be on board the airplane," it said. "We are prepared to provide technical assistance to the National Transportation Safety Board as it investigates the accident."

The president of the Airline Professionals Association, Teamsters Local 1224, said that the three people on the flight were union members: "Our union stands together as a family & in support of our members' families," Daniel C. Wells, who is also an Atlas Air captain, said: "Our focus is on our friends & colleagues who were on that plane, & we are doing everything we can to support their families."
