Delhi Airport ships 80 lakh kg of B’desh goods in 2023

Delhi Airport has become a major cargo hub for Bangladesh, shipping over 80 lakh kg of Bangladeshi goods to other countries in the last year. This makes Delhi Airport the leading cargo hub in South Asia. The service began in February 2023 and has helped Bangladesh export clothes to European countries such as Spain, France and the Netherlands. This is beneficial as the European Union is a major market for Bangladeshi clothing. The airport has installed new X-ray machines to speed up processing and avoid delays. It can now connect businesses to 67 destinations worldwide and has handled over 5 lakh metric tonnes of cargo in the last 10 months. The state-of-the-art transhipment facility at Delhi Airport has paved the way for a faster and more cost-effective route for shipping export cargo, said a report.
