Quikjet Cargo Airlines Pvt. Ltd., branded as Quikjet Airlines, is an all- cargo airline based in Bangalore, India. In December 2022, Quikjet resumed operations with a new AOC.
The airline was formed in 2007, promoted by AFL Pvt Ltd. Switzerland-based Farnair picked up a 36.2% stake in the airline in February 2012, making AFL the second-largest shareholder with 20.8% stake in the carrier. [3] QuikJet had operated one of Farnair's twelve ATR 72-200Fs until March 2013 before temporarily closing shop in anticipation of a B737-400F. [4] In May 2015, India's Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) approved Farnair's plan to incrementally increase its stake in Quikjet Cargo Airlines from 50.93% to 72.59% involving a minimum total foreign direct investment of Rs. 14.4 crores. Quickjet launched scheduled domestic cargo services using 737-400F aircraft. [5] The airline started scheduled cargo flights on 16 February 2016 using a Boeing 737. [6]
In late 2014, after its acquisition of Farnair, ASL Aviation Holdings became the majority shareholder of Quikjet Airlines. [7]
In August 2022, Quickjet Cargo took delivery of its first Boeing 737-800F with another one on order. Quickjet Cargo will be operating for Amazon Air in India.
