Amazon on Tuesday announced the expansion of Amazon Air to Northeast India with new air cargo routes connecting Kolkata and Guwahati, further strengthening its logistics infrastructure and connectivity across the region.

The addition of dedicated air capacity will significantly improve delivery speed and reliability, enabling customers across the Northeast to access Amazon’s vast selection of products with faster and more consistent delivery.

The service will support deliveries across all seven sister states —Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland and Tripura — through Amazon’s integrated air and surface transportation network.

By combining dedicated air capacity with its multimodal logistics infrastructure, Amazon expects to reduce transit times and increase delivery speeds by up to five times, bringing customers across the region faster access to a wide selection of products — from everyday essentials to smartphones, consumer electronics, fashion & beauty and more.

The inaugural Amazon Air flight to Guwahati was flagged off from the Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi, by Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu, Minister of Civil Aviation, alongside Abhinav Singh, Vice President – Operations, India and Australia, Amazon and Chetan Krishnaswamy, VP Public Policy, Amazon India.
