‘Strategic investments in air cargo facilities must to support & expand trade’

Kamal Jain, Director, Cargomen Logistics said, “Air cargo is the fastest mode of transportation and is primarily used in scenarios where goods are urgently required, have a short shelf life, or require rapid economic value realisation. This makes it the ideal choice for perishable goods, be it high value pharma perishable or fruits and vegetables, where timely delivery is crucial to maintain quality and prevent spoilage.
Government investment in air cargo infrastructure plays a significant role in boosting cargo movement and throughput. By developing better infrastructure for the storage and movement of perishable cargo, we can facilitate trade of such goods. This, in turn, leads to a rise in air cargo movement and contributes to the overall growth of the air cargo sector. Without adequate infrastructure, trade in perishable products remains limited. Therefore, strategic investments in air cargo facilities are essential to support and expand the trade of perishable commodities like fruits and vegetables, ultimately driving the development and growth of the air cargo industry.
