‘Initiative to simplify cargo processes, enhance efficiency’

Balagopal Balachandran, National Head, Air Freight, FEI Cargo, said, “The “One Airport, One Product” initiative is a promising step toward strengthening India’s cargo landscape, particularly in tier II and III cities. By aligning each airport with a regional specialty, the move can streamline processes, build focused infra, and enhance export efficiency. It supports local industries and positions India toward becoming a stronger cargo hub. At the same time, the initiative will require careful implementation to avoid over dependence on a single product, ensure adequate infra, and maintain flexibility for diverse cargo demands. With thoughtful execution and stakeholder collaboration, the programme can deliver meaningful long-term benefits.”
