International cargo handling operations will begin from the Biju Patnaik
International Airport (BPIA) from January 27, said an official on
Tuesday.
Customs Commissioner Deepak Arora said the Airport
Authority of India (AAI) has already given all clearances and they will
start international air cargo from the city airport.
The AAI has
already earmarked a hall adjacent to the domestic air cargo terminal for
the international air cargo terminal, said Arora.
A meeting in
this regard was held under the chairmanship of Ministry of Micro, Small
and Medium Enterprises Secretary L.N. Gupta at the airport in Bhubaneswar on
Tuesday. It was attended by officials of the airport authority.
This
will fulfil the long-standing demand of the exporters to have
hassle-free exports of their goods to the foreign countries and boost
export from the state, said Gupta.
Representatives of various
export associations like seafood, agro food processing industries,
handloom and handicrafts exporters and spice exporters indicated that it
will be highly beneficial for the industry and trade to get the export
facility at the airport rather than to send it by road to Hyderabad or
Kolkata airports.
Representatives of different airlines like
Indigo, Vistara, and Air India have been asked to publish a schedule for
dispatching cargo to various international destinations in Middle East,
far-east and European countries within seven days both for the
perishable and non-perishable items, said a release.
