India can be global air cargo hub, say experts

New Delhi: India has the potential to be a global hub for air cargo but it would need to improve upon its infrastructure and cost efficiency for it to make a mark in international market, experts have opined.
“Considering its geographical location, India, especially Delhi, has the potential to become a gobal hub for air cargo,” Singapore Airlines Cargo Pte Ltd President Hwang Teng Aun said addressing the ‘India Cargo Summit’ under the aegis of Confederation of Indian Industry here. Not only its geographical location but also the amount of international trade that the country is engaged in now makes India a good location for such a hub, he said.
“Even a place like Dubai, where there is not much of manufacturing or exports, is a succesful destination,” Mr Aun said. Echoing similar sentiments, Mckinsey & Co Associate Partner Kaushik Das said “India for most part of the last decade has been building infrastructure and the country has started making big strides.”
