The world’s largest online retailer, Amazon, plans to include India in its air cargo service offering. Recent speculations indicate that a new Amazon Prime Air service could begin operating in the south Asian nation as early as this month.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon, Amazon Prime Air will be available in India<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Amazon Prime Air<\/a><\/strong> will debut before the end of January 2023. In order to serve the expanding Indian market, the soon-to-be Indian aviation company will only transport packages for Amazon and build its own overnight delivery network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it were to be introduced, India would be the first market outside of the US and Europe where Amazon <\/a><\/strong>runs specific air cargo flights. The path for prime Air<\/a><\/strong>, an airline that launched its first “Amazon One” aircraft in 2016, has been extraordinary.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The new airline will be operated by QuikJet, a Bengaluru-based cargo airline. QuikJet was founded in 2007 and currently operates a fleet of two Boeing 737-800(BCF)s with an average age of 22.3 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amazon Prime Air <\/a><\/strong>India would launch operations using two Boeing 737-800s from QuikJet’s fleet. By the end of this year, there will be six freighters, according to the plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Boeing 737-800BCF is gradually gaining popularity as a freighter airline option on an international scale. The maximum takeoff weight for this aircraft is 79,000 kg (174,200 pounds). Compared to Boeing’s 737-300SF, it has a design range of 3,700 km (1,995 nautical miles), making it a more flexible choice. The aircraft can carry 24 tonnes of cargo.<\/p>\n\n\n
