AISATS is a 50:50 ground handling joint venture between air india and singapore airport terminal services. Mike Chew, Ceo, AISAT, talks about the dynamic growth of AISAT, the technological innovations, domestic and international growth, its proficient infrastructure to handle cargo, and other recent initiatives.
As 2017 was a record year for the air cargo industry, what volumes did AiSATS handle at its terminal in Bengaluru (overall)?
Air cargo is a key barometer of the economic health of the country. The Indian air cargo sector grew by leaps and bounds in 2017 with domestic and international cargo volumes growing at 10.27 percent and 19 percent respectively.
Air India SATS (AISATS) too witnessed a dynamic year of cargo growth, handling 0.15 million tons of export and import cargo from its facilities at Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru. Furthermore, progressive initiatives of the government such as the Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS), expansion of airport capacity, and the establishment of a National Logistics Portal for single window marketplace, will help maintain an upward growth trajectory for the air cargo sector in India.
What growth did AiSATS witness in 2017 in cargo handling compared to preceding year?
In 2017, AISATS realised a growth of approximately 11 percent in cargo handling as compared to 2016. Growth in perishables handling at the AISATS COOLPORT, reefer trucking services between Bengaluru and major cities in South and Central India, usage of technologically sound equipment, and adoption of process innovations, are some of the factors that have contributed towards the growth of air cargo at AISATS.
What commodities and trade lanes have contributed to the growth?
