Amazon Launches Dedicated Air Cargo Fleet in India

Amazon has announced the launch of Amazon Air, a dedicated air cargo fleet in India. The launch comes as Amazon continues to invest in its logistics infrastructure in India, where it has already invested over $6.5 billion. Amazon has partnered with Bengaluru-based cargo airline Quikjet to offer its maiden air freight service in India, utilizing the Boeing 737-800.

The partnership between Amazon and Quikjet will allow the e-commerce giant to speed up the delivery of goods to customers in Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru. This move is seen as a “huge step forward for the aviation industry,” according to Amazon. Amazon Air is expected to be an integral part of Amazon’s logistics strategy in India, helping the company reduce delivery times and improve customer service.

The launch of Amazon Air in India comes at a time when the country’s e-commerce sector is growing rapidly. According to research firm Statista, the Indian e-commerce market is expected to reach $84 billion by 2023. Amazon is looking to capitalize on the growth of the sector and is investing heavily in its logistics infrastructure in the country.

Amazon’s launch of Amazon Air in India is a significant development in the country’s aviation industry. The move will enable Amazon to speed up the delivery of goods to customers and capitalize on the growth of the Indian e-commerce sector. It remains to be seen how Amazon will continue to expand its logistics infrastructure in India and how this will impact the country’s aviation industry.
