QuikJet Airlines resumes flying with a B737-800BCF

Quikjet Airlines (FQA, Bangalore Int'l) has successfully relaunched its own freighter flights with a leased B737-800(BCF) commencing revenue services in early December. The airline took delivery of VT-AAZ (formerly N120MN) (msn 30643) in August while reapplying for its air operator's certificate after a change in its shareholder structure.
On Friday, December 2, VT-AAZ initiated revenue flights with a Hyderabad Int'l - Coimbatore - Hyderabad - Bangalore Int'l - Hyderabad rotation. FlightRadar24 ADS-B data shows the plane has flown a significant number of sectors within India since then. The 20.74-year-old jet comes on a lease from Arena Aviation Capital via the MAM Aircraft Leasing 30643 (Ireland) DAC special purpose vehicle.
Founded in 2007, QuikJet formerly operated an ATR72-200(F), B737-300(F), and B737-400(SF) but suspended in-house flying in 2017 when it retired its B737-400SF. At the time, QuikJet was majority owned by ASL Aviation Holdings but that group has since sold down its stake to minority status and now supply-chain mogul Cyrus Guzder owns 51% of the business. Guzder has spoken of his desire to target the overnight express freight market.
ch-aviation has recently reported that QuikJet has a second B737-800(BDSF), N110MN (msn 28382), undergoing conversion at Jinan, China. The conversion process is now complete and that plane was ferried to Hyderabad on November 28.
