Chandigarh Airport to get air cargo facility soon

While presenting the annual budget, Manpreet Singh Badal, Finance Minister, Punjab announced for the setting up of an air cargo unit at the Chandigarh International Airport. Badal said, “The air cargo facility will give a fillip to the industry and provide exporters better access to international and domestic markets.” Mohali Industry Association (MIA), states, “Exporters need to send consignments by road to the Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi. The freight is lined up for 24 to 48 hours before being loaded in aircraft. A cargo facility closer home will save time, effort and money. Besides, it will promote ease-of-doing-business.”
