Amazon India has expanded its dedicated air cargo network by adding a new route connecting Guwahati and Kolkata, a move aimed at strengthening logistics and speeding up deliveries across the Northeast. The new route will be serviced by Amazon Air, the company’s freighter service launched in 2023, which initially connected Hyderabad, Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. The inaugural Amazon Air flight to Guwahati was flagged off from the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi on Friday by Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu. "For sellers in the region, the introduction of Amazon Air services to Guwahati will enable enterprises to connect with customers nationwide. Apart from operating its own cargo aircraft, Amazon India also utilises cargo capacity from other Indian airlines to support its logistics network.
