IndiGo to launch air cargo facilities, freighters in Andhra Pradesh

IndiGo Airlines is planning to set up a cargo facility at Vijayawada and at other important airports in Andhra Pradesh. Giridharan Srinivasan, Regional Director (South), said four dedicated cargo aircraft will be introduced shortly, the first one from October which will be linked to AP airports also. In a seminar organised by the AP Chambers of Commerce and Industry Federation on improvement of air cargo facilities at airports in the State, he said that IndiGo had a dedicated cargo facility at the Rajamahendravaram airport, which was operational before COVID. The airline planned its resumption, and it would be available for exporters. The cargo facility at the Visakhapatnam International Airport was customs-notified, from where cargo is exported directly by IndiGo to 27 overseas destinations after necessary customs clearances.
