India's air cargo has remained at negligible levels in comparison to the global standard, due to various factors such as cost, type of cargo and infrastructure. This is set to change in the next three to four years with the Indian economy on a solid growth trajectory and the liberalisation of the aviation sector. India is also set to emerge as a cargo hub, due to geographic location between SE Asia and EU nations. Fresh analysis from Frost & Sullivan Analysis of the country's air cargo market has found that the total air cargo (domestic and international) was about 1.77 million tonne in 2007-08 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of about 8.3 per cent by 2013. "Increasing globalisation, integration of the world economy, and the strengthening of India in the IT service provider space has resulted in a booming Indian economy, supporting a thriving global economy," say Frost & Sullivan analysts Arun Narayanan and Chethan Kambi. "This has increased the aggregate demand and is an important driver for air cargo services." The market will get a further boost with the recent raise of the FDI FDI See: Foreign direct investment limits allowing up to 74 per cent stake in Indian cargo airlines This article is about the general type of air carrier. For the Israeli cargo airline, see CAL Cargo Air Lines. Cargo airlines (or airfreight carriers, and derivatives of these names) are airlines dedicated to the transport of cargo. , as this will bring in the much needed capital and global best practices to the Indian air cargo industry. Proactive and favourable government policies will greatly encourage investments in the air cargo industry and facilitate the setting up of the required amenities and infrastructure. It will also help establish multi modal Mode-oriented. A modal operation switches from one mode to another. Contrast with non-modal. 1. modal - (Of an interface) Having modes.

They also need to work towards ensuring improved aviation facilities for cargo handling and increasing the fleet of freighter aircraft in India. There needs to be improved road and rail connectivity to and from the cargo hubs to ensure a well developed and efficient feeder network "International cargo traffic is concentrated on the three key international gateway airports - Mumbai, Delhi, and Chennai. With the development of supporting infrastructure in the new greenfield Greenfield, town (1990 pop. 18,666), seat of Franklin co., NW Mass., at the confluence of the Deerfield and Green rivers, near their junction with the Connecticut; settled 1686, set off from Deerfield and inc. 1753. airports, Bengaluru and Hyderabad, and with also the proposed air cargo hub at Nagpur, higher cargo traffic is expected from these airports as well. Although international air cargo traffic is much higher than the domestic traffic, the latter offers greater potential for Indian investors, since regulations prevent foreign airlines from competing in the domestic air cargo market. This is the segment to watch for growth, given the current robust growth in Tier II towns and the need for increased connectivity for cargo movement between the Tier II cities and cargo hubs" observes, Ratan Shrivastava, Director, Aerospace and Defence Practice. "On an average, the air freight air freight n → flete m por avión air freight n → fret aérien air freight air n → Luftfracht f traffic growth has been significantly higher than the gross domestic product (GDP GDP (guanosine diphosphate): see guanine. ) growth rate and this trend has been rising over the years," observes Narayanan in the study. "This is the result of an increasing use of the aerial mode to transport freight, particularly perishables and time-sensitive products. The policy framework of the government in this sector, notably the liberal bilateral agreements, open-sky policy for air cargo, relaxation of foreign direct investment (FDI) limits etc. has also helped in generating higher traffic growth."
