2-lakh-sq-ft built-to-suit facility will house leading global express courier organisations
The terminal will have a dedicated space for customs offices and direct access to both land and airside
Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (KIAB) on Friday (March 12) announced the opening of the country s first dedicated express cargo terminal, which would help the private airport operator to handle over 25 per cent more cargo annually.
The express cargo market for business-to-consumer (B2C) and business-to-business (B2B) sectors has tremendous potential to grow over the next decade. It is on account of a larger playing field with multiple service providers, improved transit time, and value-added services and the new facility, set up exclusively for export and import of international couriers, would cater to this demand, Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) said in a release.
