Oman Air has launched its maiden freighter service from GMR Hyderabad International Airport [GMR Hyderabad International Airport Ltd (GHIAL)], operating its first Boeing B737-800BCF connecting Hyderabad and Muscat. The freighter service will operate two weekly flights, on Tuesday and Saturday. With a one-way capacity of 22 tonnes, the freighter will add a weekly capacity of 88 tonnes from Hyderabad Airport. The service is poised to boost the export of pharmaceuticals and hatching egg shipments from the city. With the new connection, Oman Air expects a substantial surge in exports of hatching eggs from Hyderabad, leveraging the large hatchery infrastructure in the city. The Middle East is also a major importer of fruits and vegetables. This new freighter would enhance exports of fruits and vegetables from Telangana and Andhra Pradesh to the Middle East, as per a report.
