GMR Hyderabad International Airport Limited (GHIAL) CEO SGK Kishore said: “Cargo Charters in India as a concept is still in a nascent phase. While it contributes a small proportion of the volume handled by the Indian airports currently, as an emerging market Cargo Charters holds a lot of promise.

“Realising this potential, we have launched the HC3 platform, which will act as an industry forum led by Hyderabad Airport to give the value and advantage to this segment of the industry and help boost trade and logistics.”

Last month, GHIAL secured clearance from an environment ministry agency to double the capacity of Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Airport.
