The Biju Patnaik International Airport here would handle international
cargo from the International Customs Day on January 27, said Customs
Commissioner, Bhubaneswar Deepak Arora on Tuesday.
For this purpose, public notice is already in place and the airport authorities have already earmarked a hall adjacent to the domestic air cargo terminal for the purpose of international air cargo terminal, Arora said after a joint meeting at the airport chaired by MSME Principal Secretary LN Gupta.
Arora said the Airport Authority of India (AAI) has accorded concurrence to the city office of the AAI to become custodian of the international air cargo terminal.
The 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 facility of dispatching cargo from the airport here, instead of the current practice of sending cargo by road via Hyderbad or Kolkata.
Notably, AAI Chairman GP Mahapatra during his recent visit in December had also agreed for the commencement of the cargo operations.
