‘Double-dipping for freighters vital to boost int’l connectivity’

Pradeep Panicker, CEO, GMR Hyderabad International Airport said, “Enhancing international connectivity through double-dipping for freighters is vital.” He added, “Streamlining customs via a digital single window and expanding the Express Cargo Clearance System (ECCS) across airports will enable faster, paperless processing. Export growth can be supported by government-backed packhouses, irradiation facilities and plant quarantine units near airports. Promoting green logistics and implementing a uniform GST for multimodal cargo will encourage sustainable and integrated transport.”  Panicker also stressed that, “Investment in air and rail corridors will improve hinterland connectivity. These reforms collectively address infrastructure gaps, improve operational efficiency and support India’s ambition to become a global air cargo leader.”
