Vizag Airport Resumes International Air Cargo Operations after 4 Years

 Experts believe that industries such as pharmaceuticals, textiles, and seafood (particularly shrimp) will greatly benefit from this development, as they previously struggled with transportation options due to the lack of international cargo facilities. The absence of these services since 2019-2020, when Vizag last handled 470 tonnes of international cargo, had become a significant concern for local businesses.

Vizag Member of Parliament, M. Sribharat, played a key role in addressing this issue by bringing it to the attention of the Union Government. His efforts, which included facilitating discussions between airport authorities and central committees, were instrumental in reviving the air cargo operations.

Sribharat expressed his gratitude to Union Minister Rammohan Naidu and State Minister Nara Lokesh for their unwavering support in making this vision a reality, emphasizing that the resumption of these services would be a landmark achievement for the industrial sector. He highlighted that this initiative would not only provide efficient logistics solutions but also showcase Vizag’s potential on the global stage.
