Guwahati Airport records 35% growth, to build new terminal

The Guwahati Airport has reported a 35 per cent YoY growth in total domestic cargo handled at the airport. To boost the flow of local products from North-East region and support e-commerce, the airport is now planning to set up an integrated cargo terminal. The growth in the cargo movements is spearheaded by Blue Dart, which commenced its operations on the airport in January 2024. Currently, Blue Dart is the only airline to carry out cargo operations from Guwahati and it flies its Boeing 737 freighter five times in a week. A total of 21 tonnes of capacity is being carried out each way by Blue Dart. The Guwahati Airport has handled 19,914 tonnes of domestic cargo from April to December last year.
