Cargo handled at Indian Airports
• The data indicates a steady rise in cargo handling across Indian airports from FY21 to FY24, with Joint Venture International Airports accounting for the bulk of the volume. AAI and PPP airports also showed moderate growth during this period.
• However, FY25 sees a notable drop in total cargo handled, possibly reflecting global trade slowdowns, reduced air freight demand, or operational adjustments.
• Despite this dip, the overall trend over the previous years underscores the increasing role of air cargo in India's logistics and trade infrastructure.
• PPP Airports in the below data includes Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Mangalore, Jaipur, Guwahati and Trivandrum
