With an objective to tap the unutilized potential of the cargo and logistics sector, Air Deccan has entered into the cargo and express logistics sector. Its first commercial flight of 'Deccan 360', a new cargo and express logistics venture, has taken off from Delhi for Hong Kong, using one of its Airbus A310Fs. With this launch, the airlines has officially started its services on the Delhi-Mumbai-Chennai-Hong Kong-Dubai sector five times a week.

Deccan 360 has obtained five Airbus A-310 aircraft. Airbus A-310F is the freighter version of the A-310 airliner. Soon, the company will introduce two more A-310s, each capable of carrying 35 tonnes of cargo. It will also have six smaller ATR aircraft that will hold cargo to and from the interiors of the nation to metro cities.
