AP begins air cargo service from Donyi Polo Airport

Arunachal Pradesh is all set to begin its first outbound air cargo service from Donyi Polo Airport, Itanagar. The service, under the theme ‘Empowering Farmers, Connecting Markets,’ is designed to link local farmers with larger markets and speed up the transport of perishable goods. “Today, I had the privilege to flag off the first outbound air cargo from our state at Donyi Polo Airport. This initiative will open new horizons for our hardworking farmers,” Balo Raja, Civil Aviation Minister said in a post on X. As per the officials, the facility will focus on fruits, vegetables, flowers and other produce that often incur losses due to delays in conventional transport. The cargo service is expected to reduce wastage and help cultivators secure better prices, particularly in remote districts.
