SpiceJet allowed to self-handle cargo, private firms fume
NEW DELHI : The Civil Aviation Ministry has allowed Ajay Singh-led SpiceJet to carry out self-handing of cargo from “off-airport facilities”, causing heartburn among private airport operators.
The order has been issued in accordance with ground-handling regulations (GHA), 2018 but has left some of the private airport operators miffed as this means loss of revenue for them.
The private airport operators want all the cargo to move through the designated handlers at the airport and argue non-adherence of this may create safety issues.
