The full-fledged launch of the cargo services is expected towards the year-end or early next year by when its retail foray reaches critical mass.
Plans include using smaller air strips in various states and setting up a dedicated airport for cargo in Punjab to bring fresh vegetable and farm product to retail outlets across the country.
