Global cargo fails to get lifted from Pune Airport

The international cargo services at the newly established cargo terminal at the Pune airport have been inactive for the past nine months due to technical issues thus causing inconsiderable inconvenience to small producers, farmers and traders. The primary cause of the delay has been attributed to an incomplete broadband (LIS line) connection that links the computers within the cargo terminal project, says reports. Consequently, the customs department has withheld approval for the international cargo service at Pune airport. The domestic cargo services though have earned appreciation for making a positive stride in local logistics this year. It may be mentioned that international cargo services are considered to be crucial for connecting local businesses to global markets and bringing them good revenue. This technical glitch has resulted in a significant setback for those dependent on the international cargo service at the airport.
