Cargo operations barely hit in Delhi airport Terminal 1 incident

The Delhi Airport Terminal 1 roof collapse incident, which killed one person and left many injured took place on Friday morning, due to heavy rainfall in the city. The incident once again raised questions regarding the quality of infrastructure at airports for passenger and cargo operations. Many passenger flights were cancelled, ultimately affecting the cargo movement. Cargo is loaded into the belly hold of passenger aircraft. DIAL Airport told CargoTalk that the disruption did not affect cargo operations at the terminal, while an official from Delhi Cargo Service Centre said cargo movements were restricted as the flight operations were suspended. Celebi also shared similar sentiments with CargoTalk. At the same time, a few freight forwarders and airlines, however, stated that cargo operations were not affected at all.
