Quikjet Airlines (QO, Bengaluru International) has taken delivery of its first B737-800(SF) as it prepares to relaunch in-house dedicated freighter operations.
N120MN (msn 30643) was ferried, post-conversion, from Jinan to Hyderabad International on July 29, 2022. At 20.4 years of age, the jet is ex-Jet Time (2006) stock, owned by Marathon Asset Management, and managed by Arena Aviation Capital. It remains at Hyderabad airport and has yet to be re-registered in India. The carrier did not respond to ch-aviation's request for comment on service entry dates.
Quikjet Airlines has another B737-800(BDSF) under conversion at Jinan, N110MN (msn 28382), although its delivery timeline is unclear.
The Indian cargo specialist suspended all in-house operations in 2017, retiring its only B737-400(SF). Quikjet Airlines is affiliated with ASL Aviation Holdings through ASL Airlines Switzerland (Basel/Mulhouse/Freiburg, CH).
