“Introducing AirRajasthan – the upcoming First Air Cargo Airline of Rajasthan, bringing a new vision of air cargo connectivity, international trade and logistics excellence,” the company said in its LinkedIn announcement.
The airline plans to establish strategic hubs in Jaipur and Rajasthan, India, and Fujairah in the UAE. It aims to build an integrated aviation and logistics network covering air cargo, charter operations, freight management, ground transportation and end-to-end cargo solutions through a single commercial platform.
Air Cargo News has contacted AirRajasthan for further details on its proposed launch timeline, route network and fleet plans.
The proposed entry comes as India’s air cargo sector continues to expand, driven by rising demand from e-commerce, express logistics, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing and international trade.
Provisional data from India’s Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) show that scheduled airlines handled around 3.11 million tonnes of cargo in financial year 2025/26. This included 978,000 tonnes of domestic freight, representing a 24% year-on-year increase, while international cargo volumes rose 20.6% to 2.13 million tonnes.
Among the existing operators, Bengaluru-based Quikjet Cargo Airlines serves domestic and international markets. The carrier recently introduced flights to Dubai and launched a Delhi–Guwahati–Hanoi service on behalf of Amazon.
Meanwhile, India-based express carrier Blue Dart Aviation operates scheduled domestic freighter services, catering to the country’s growing air express and logistics market.
