DELHI Air Cargo is counting on high on reefer cargo exports, as Indian shippers steadily scale up their global market reach, aided by recent bilateral free trade deals, reports London's Loadstar
According to Kamesh Peri, CEO of Celebi Delhi Cargo Terminal Management,
Perishable air freight out of the terminal has seen measurable increase in recent months, according to Kamesh Peri, CEO of Celebi Delhi Cargo Terminal Management.
He told Loadstar the terminal had more than 3,000 square metres of space for temperature-controlled cargo handling, a dedicated set up that enables a monthly capacity for handling over 2,000 tonnes of cargo, such as fruit, vegetables, meat and other perishables.
Mr Peri said the market was seeing an uptick in reefer truck deployment by forwarders and shippers, encouraged by the long-term economic growth outlook.
Celebi is also eyeing more mango shipments, as Indian fruit producers and traders look beyond the traditional Gulf markets for India's 'king of all fruits'.
'Last year's top export destinations for mangoes were the UAE, UK, Qatar, Oman and Kuwait, with the UAE accounting for the bulk, estimated at over INR1.4 billion (US$17 million) by value,' he said.
Bangladesh's transshipment-centric export trade is another emerging lucrative cargo source for Delhi Air Cargo, since New Delhi signed-off new land-air bilateral routing arrangements. On behalf of Inditex, an Atlas Air freighter service that carried some 124 tonnes of Bangladesh cargo from Delhi for Spain last month launched this transshipment air corridor.
