After the United States and Europe, India is the company’s third market to debut Amazon Air. The Seattle-based company, which launched the service in the United States in 2016, has a network of over 110 planes that fly to over 70 destinations globally.

Amazon has partnered with Quikjet Cargo Airline Private Ltd, a Bengaluru-based freight carrier, to carry packages on a single Boeing 737-800 jet, according to a company statement.
