The home air cargo companies on the Vijayawada Worldwide Airport shall be quickly dealt with by Indigo, one of many main home airways within the nation.
Because of varied causes together with the change in sure guidelines following the instructions of the Bureau of Civil Aviation Safety, the present handler of the Frequent Person Home Cargo Terminal, Shreepa Logistics Pvt. Ltd is about to finish its contract by April 24. For the primary time, Shreepa Logistics began working the cargo terminal on August 1, 2018.
The outbound cargo companies got here to a halt in January and the Airport Authority of India has roped in SpiceJet to make sure that the transport of perishable items comparable to shrimp isn’t effected.

As soon as the formalities are accomplished Indigo will begin working,” Vijayawada Worldwide Airport director M. Lakshmikanth Reddy informed The Hindu.
As a result of hindrances within the cargo companies, the amount of freight dealt with by the airport got here down drastically to 1,209 metric tonnes in 2022-23 (as much as February, 2023) in comparison with 2,264 metric tonnes dealt with in 2021-22 fiscal yr.
