‘Connectivity between tier II and III cities & cargo hubs will work wonders’

Kamal Jain, Director, Cargomen Logistics, said, “While focused export hubs are good, creating new airports without enough cargo volume will not work. The real problem is not shortage of airports — it is poor connectivity between existing ports and airports. While empty airports struggle to survive, airlines refuse to fly to the destination without adequate cargo loads. Instead, we should strengthen links between tier II and III cities and major hubs, ensure better cargo utilisation, and develop specialised product routes using existing infrastructure rather than building new airports.”
