BENGALURU: To cater to the booming cargo growth at Kempegowda International Airport (KIA), an export cargo terminal, the first-of-its-kind in the country, will become functional shortly.

In connection with the cargo developments at the airport, Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) Chief Strategy & Development Officer, BIAL, Satyaki Raghunath said, “We are in the process of operationalising an export cargo terminal that is going to be India’s first.

We are going to have it ready in the next two months.” This follows a demand from FEDEX, DHL and others for additional capacity. “It will become operational within the next 30 to 60 days after final clearances, checks and government approval,” he added.
