PUNE: Six
months after international cargo export facility got off to a start at Pune
airport, it seems to have finally got accelerated. Two more airlines -Air India
and Jet Airways - are keen to board the cargo bandwagon. To date, SpiceJet had
been the lone airline carrying cargo from the airport to Dubai.
Air India sources said that cargo facility will start in a
month's time after they receive a nod from the company's regional headquarters
in Mumbai. "We have been working on the same for some time now and are in
the last phase of getting approval from our regional headquarters. The approval
is likely to reach us in less than a month's time with most formalities having
been completed. After receiving the same, we will start the process of
exporting cargo from the facility to Dubai. We have been keen on starting the
same and it is going to happen very soon," an Air India official told pune-news.com.
The Pune airport currently operates four international flights
- two to Dubai (Air India and SpiceJet), one to Abu Dhabi (Jet Airways) and one
to Frankfurt (Lufthansa). The cargo export facility was started near the airport
premises in June last year.
"Out of the four airlines operating international flights
from Pune, only SpiceJet carries cargo from the airport to Dubai. On an
average, the airline carries 430 kg of cargo every day. We have plans to
enhance the facility but will wait for some more time until the expectation
level is reached. While SpiceJet has started carrying cargo, Air India will
soon follow suit, so will Jet," an airport official pointed out
Jet Airways sources told pune-news.com
that they too will begin the services soon. The officials said that the final
process and formalities were being worked out. Asked about international cargo
import facility, another airport official said, "We need space in the form
of more land. But if the state government can provide us land, we will surely
take up the matter and the import facility will be created. There is also a
plan to create an integrated cargo terminal," the official said.
Anant Sardeshmukh, director general of the Marhatta Chamber of
Commerce, Industries and Agriculture (MCCIA), said that the start of the
facility has been fairly decent. "It is not a flying start and a
word-of-mouth publicity is needed. However, we do expect that in the coming
year, a lot of things pertaining to the airport, including cargo facility, will
receive a boost," the official said.
