Freighter ops on the anvil at Noida Airport

GATEWAY and cargo handling services operator AISATS has said it has partnered with Chen-
nai-based cargo airline Afcom for freighter operations at the upcoming Noida International Air-
port, as per reports. The collaboration, reached through an initial pact with Air India SATS Airport
Services’ (AISATS) wholly-owned special purpose vehicle AISATS Noida Cargo Terminal Private
Limited (ANCTPL), is aimed at transforming Noida International Airport into North India’s premier
cargo gateway, complementing major hubs like Delhi and Mumbai, and advancing India’s ambition
to become a global trade powerhouse.
The partnership signals a strategic leap in India’s cargo ecosystem, as AISATS combines its
infrastructure capabilities with Afcom’s growing international freighter network. The collaboration
provides a sustainable solution for electronics, perishables, auto components and temperature-
sensitive goods, delivering efficiency and competitive advantage to Indian exporters while attract-
ing foreign investment into the logistics and manufacturing sectors, the reports highlighted.
