Back AI to shift export cargo handling unit in Chennai

Chennai , Nov. 24

AIR India will move its flight-handling unit for export cargo to its own facility near the old airport terminal in a month's time.

In the first phase, the airline will shift only the export division immediately. The imports will be shifted once the infrastructure is in place.

Sources said that the move was in line with the Government's policy to have another custodian, besides Airports Authority of India at major airports. This has been implemented in Mumbai where Air India is the custodian other than AAI.
