International air cargo operations resumed at Visakhapatnam airport last week, marking the end of the suspension that had been in place since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic, announced Civil Aviation Minister Mr K. Ram Mohan Naidu during the 30th CII Partnership Summit in the city. The resumption of services will reduce the logistical difficulties for exporters in and around Visakhapatnam, it was pointed out. Until now, companies in sectors such as pharmaceuticals, medical technology, textiles, and other manufacturing units operating from the Pharma SEZ, AP MedTech Zone (AMTZ), Textile Park and Visakhapatnam Special Economic Zone (VSEZ) had to move their cargo through airports in Hyderabad or Chennai. The detour increased transportation costs and led to longer shipment timelines, said a report.
