The aircraft between Kolkata and Yangon will allow IndiGo Cargo operations to reach international ports, according to Mr. Mahesh Malik, Chief Commercial Officer – Cargo, IndiGo. The supply chain between India and Myanmar will be strengthened by the addition of a freighter service between these two key commercial centers. As we increase our fleet of freighters and add new locations to our Cargo network, we anticipate seeing growth in the business over the next few months.

With 24 container positions and a cargo capacity of up to 27 tonnes, the A321P2F (Passenger-to-Freighter conversion) is the most effective narrow-bodied freighter currently on the market. Through a programme run by ST Engineering and Airbus’ joint venture, Elbe FlugzeugWerke, the planes are being modified (EFW).

An international alternative investment organization with 17 years of experience investing in, financing, and managing aviation assets has leased the aircraft to IndiGo from funds managed by Castlelake Aviation Holdings (Ireland) Limited.
