‘India needs freighters to power Its export surge’

CK Govil, CMD, Activair Airfreight, said, “India’s growing manufacturing, e-commerce and pharma sectors require freighters to ensure reliable, time-definite global connectivity. Belly capacity alone cannot support rising export demand from tier II and III cities. Freighters enable point-to-point uplift, temperature-controlled movement, and seamless integration with multimodal hubs. To make India a cargo powerhouse, expanding capacity is not optional — it is an immediate necessity.”
