Bengaluru airport launches dedicated terminal for express cargo, to help e-commerce

The Bangalore International Airport (BIAL) on Friday commissioned what it called the country’s first dedicated express cargo terminal at Kempegowda International Airport.

Developed by the BIAL, the 200,000 sq. ft. built-to-suit facility will house global express courier organisations such as DHL Express and FedEx Express. Express Industry Council of India (EICI) will operate the Common-User Express Terminal for other courier companies. The Common-user Terminal will add impetus to Bengaluru’s already strong e-commerce base. The Terminal will have a dedicated space for Customs offices, and direct access to both Landside and Airside, the airport said in a press release.
