India releases its first-ever air cargo policy – the first air cargo-specific policy for the country – at last month’s Global Aviation Summit in Mumbai. The policy aims to elevate India into the world’s top five air freight markets and develop hubs at all of the country’s major airports by 2025, promote the development of first- and last-mile connectivity programs at gateways, and promote code sharing agreement between foreign and Indian carriers, Devdiscourse reported. “The domestic and international air cargo network will dovetail with the postal network through a common user platform to provide first and last mile connectivity for air cargo,” the Week quoted from the document. “Any air logistics company will be able to connect with the postal network based on a pre-defined connectivity interface. This will connect villages to both the urban domestic market and international markets providing free flow of goods through air cargo.”
