Foreign operators have overwhelming share of country’s int’l air cargo

A LION’S share of the shipments in and out of India is taken by the foreign air operators, who command around 94-95 per cent of the market while the remaining 5-6 per cent with Indian operators. The lack of dedicated wide-body freighter aircraft appears to be the key reason for Indian cargo airlines not being able to fly to long and ultra-long haul destinations. This is where foreign players come into the picture and dominate the country’s air cargo space, as per a report.
