Kanpur’s Chakeri Airport to begin air freight services by end of April

Kanpur’s Chakeri Airport will soon offer air cargo services to four cities namely Delhi, Bengaluru, Mumbai and Hyderabad by the end of this month. This has been a long-standing demand of local businesses who currently rely on Lucknow Airport for air freight. This new service, expected to start by the end of the month, will significantly reduce transportation costs and time for businesses, especially those in the leather industry exporting goods internationally. The move comes after persistent demands from entrepreneurs, especially those in the leather industry, who have long awaited direct cargo facilities from Kanpur. Until now, exporters had to rely on Lucknow Airport to ship goods domestically and internationally, incurring additional transportation costs and delays. With the new facility, leather and other products can be shipped directly from Kanpur, reducing time and expenses significantly. Airport Director Sanjay Kumar, in official reports confirmed that the cargo services will begin in the last week of this month. This is expected to boost local businesses and improve logistics efficiency in the region.
