Frankfurt Hahn Airport eyes South India to enhance trade routes with Bengaluru in a strategic push for cargo growth.
In a major move to expand its footprint in India,
Frankfurt Hahn Airport has partnered with BLR Cargo, the cargo operations arm
of Kempegowda International Airport (BLR Airport) in Bengaluru.
The
partnership was announced recently at an event in Bengaluru hosted by Frankfurt
Hahn Airport, featuring presentations by Ruediger Franke, CEO of Frankfurt Hahn
Airport, along with other speakers.
In his
presentation, Franke discussed the partnership and emphasised the airport's
features and specialisation. He
highlighted that India, particularly South
India, represents a strong market with significant growth potential.
Franke
noted that the partnership aims to establish direct connections between Hahn
and BLR, as there are currently only a few direct routes linking South India
with Central Europe. He added that, in
collaboration with BLR Airport, they aim to increase trade volumes and
strengthen the cargo hubs between Hahn and BLR. He also highlighted the
rising trade volumes, noting that India is becoming increasingly important to
the German economy.
