Northeast India’s second largest air cargo terminal was inaugurated at the Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport in Agartala by Tripura Transport Minister Sushanta Chowdhury on Friday.
The largest such facility in the region exists at Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport in Guwahati.
The new building was constructed at a cost of Rs 17 crore and cargo handling facility at the airport was restored after being shut since December 4 last year due to the absence of security vetting by regulatory body, Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS).
The suspension of services had caused inconvenience to traders as well as postal service.
