Delhi airport’s September cargo volumes highest since April

NEW DELHI: Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), which operates the national capital’s Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA), on Thursday said that its September cargo volumes at 2,366 flights were thehighest since April.

This follows airlines expanding cargo operations and deploying dedicated freighter fleets to offset the impact of low passenger traffic amid the pandemic.

“While Delhi airport has been witnessing continued surge in freighter movements for the last couple of months, freighter airlines including passenger aircraft used to carry cargo (P2C) have significantly contributed in creating capacities to meet the demand,” DIAL said in a statement.
