In an effort to improve the trade and logistics profile of the northern Karnataka region, its first dedicated domestic air cargo terminal was made operational at Hubballi Airport on Wednesday (3 November).
The new cargo terminal is expected to be the base for this region and improve the supply chain of e-commerce companies.
The Airports Authority of India (AAI) and Cargo Logistics and Allied Services Company Limited have carried out the conversion of the old passenger terminal building at the airport to a cargo terminal at an estimated cost of Rs 45 lakh.
“Dedicated storage space for valuables and dangerous goods, provision for commercial office space for freight forwarders, e-commerce and courier companies are available at the cargo terminal,” Pramod Kumar Thakre, director of Hubballi Airport, told The Indian Express.
“Depending on the demand, airlines like Indigo, Alliance Air and StarAir may operate cargo charters or freighters through this terminal,” he added.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
