Bengaluru airport opens India’s first dedicated express cargo terminal

Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (KIAB) on Friday announced the opening of the country’s first dedicated express cargo terminal, which would help the private airport operator to handle over 25 per cent more cargo annually.

The express cargo market for business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) sectors has tremendous potential to grow over the next decade. It is on account of larger playing field with multiple service providers, improved transit time, and value-added services and the new facility, set up exclusively for export and import of international couriers, would cater to this demand, Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) said in a release.
