‘Root causes often include inadequate infrastructure, suboptimal cargo handling, and poor stakeholder coordination’

Kamal Jain, Director, Cargomen Logistics said, “Congestion at airports during peak hours severely impacts cargo efficiency, resulting in delays, extended transit times, and elevated logistics costs. The root causes often include inadequate infrastructure, suboptimal cargo handling, and poor stakeholder coordination.
The solution lies in two key areas: implementation of robust Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and automation of cargo handling. SOPs must clearly define vehicle entry, parking, cargo acceptance, evacuation, and terminal exit. Integration of automated systems for documentation and process flow will ensure faster turnaround and improved operational efficiency. Terminal must work on continuous monitoring of turn around time of IN / OUT of vehicle and also work on predictive analysis to deploy manpower and resources.”
