Ketan Kulkarni, MD and CEO, Allcargo Logistics, said, “Tier II and III airports can play a vital role in easing the high concentration of air cargo at metro hubs, where nearly 90 per cent of volumes are handled. Scaling capacity will require continued infrastructure development, stronger multimodal connectivity, faster turnaround processes, and integration with regional supply chains. As the government rolls out its ₹28,840 crore plan to revamp air connectivity through 100 new regional airports, it is set to give a boost to the economy of smaller towns. At Allcargo Logistics, the Allcargo Air Express service is backed by connectivity to 100 cities also enabling 24-hour deliveries across key metro cities. Through direct air links to emerging markets, such as Varanasi and Imphal, we are strengthening regional connectivity, reducing transit timelines and helping businesses stay competitive amid evolving demand and global disruptions.”
