NEW DELHI. Civil Aviation Minister K. Ram Mohan Naidu has said that India’s air cargo sector has recorded consistent growth in recent years, with cargo volumes rising by nearly 40 per cent, as the government works to develop global-standard air cargo hubs and facilities across the country. Speaking to reporters in New Delhi, the Minister said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has stressed the need to expand India’s logistics network, while noting that FedEx and GMR Airports have partnered to establish a dedicated air cargo facility at Delhi airport. On the Air India Phuket-Delhi flight incident, Naidu said the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau is conducting an investigation and that its preliminary report is expected soon. The incident took place on the 4th of the month when the Delhi-bound aircraft reportedly experienced a sudden loss of altitude of around 300 feet during cruise.
