Srinagar airport’s swanky cargo complex starts operation; exports to receive boost

Srinagar: Srinagar Airport Authority on Tuesday commenced the cargo operations from its new domestic cargo complex.

The infrastructure created at a cost of more than Rs 14 crores is believed to majorly improve the services.

“In this new complex we have made provisions for cold storage, sensitive goods, and dangerous goods also.

He said the entire complex is covered with CCTV monitoring to ensure safety and security of the Cargo.

“This complex will be entirely managed by our own staff on a Regulated Agent basis.

He added, this is a step forward in our quest to serve our valuable customers and stakeholders to the best of our ability.
