Amazon to launch dedicated cargo fleet in India
Amazon is going to launch its own air cargo fleet in India, as part of effort by the global ecommerce giant to expand and have more control over logistics operations in one of the largest and fastest growing markets for it, people in the know of the plan said.
Amazon’s signature Prime Air will exclusively transport packages for the company and carry the familiar light blue ‘smile’ logo on the aircraft fuselage. Likely to be launched by the end of this month, the fleet will be operated by QuikJet, a Bengaluru-based cargo airline which is a joint venture between Cyrus Guzder of supply chain company AFL and Ireland-based ASL Aviation Group.
