Amazon has expanded its cargo freighter operations in India by signing a contract with Quikjet Airlines. After receiving a new Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the Indian civil aviation authority, Bengaluru-based cargo airline Quikjet Airlines has resumed operations.
The cargo airline, which connects Hyderabad with Delhi and Bengaluru using two modified Boeing 737-800 freighters (B737-800BCF and B737-800 BDSF), has been working for the world’s largest online retailer Amazon in India.
The cargo airline is anticipated to launch sections between Delhi and Mumbai very soon.
“#HYDAirport is delighted to welcome back Quikjet for relaunching cargo airline operations today with daily connectivity from Hyderabad to Delhi and Bangalore,” GMR Hyderabad International Airport. “This will boost the state’s economy and empower businesses with increased cargo connectivity & quicker reach for E-commerce. We look forward to growing together”.
