Mumbai: Jet Airways (India) Ltd, the country's second largest airline by passengers carried, will start dedicated cargo operations in April, becoming the first private Indian airline to do so.
The cargo service, with Delhi as its base, will be operated using an Airbus A330-200F aircraft wet-leased from partner Etihad Airways PJSC. A wet lease includes pilots and cabin crew as well as the aircraft, unlike a dry lease in which only the plane is leased.
A person close the development said the freighter operations would be run under the brand Jet Airways Cargo, which would start with one cargo plane and be reviewed later for more.
Jet Airways will fly cargo planes to several destinations, including Bengaluru, Hong Kong, Hanoi and Singapore.
The airline has chosen Delhi as its base because of better connectivity to international and domestic destinations, the person said, requesting anonymity.
