The Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad has been adjudged the “Best Cargo Airport of The Year” at the recently concluded 40th annual convention of Air Cargo Agents Association of India held at Jaipur.

This is the second year in a row that RGIA has won the award for its cargo operations.

S.G.K. Kishore, Chief Executive Officer, said, “We are delighted to be recognised by a prestigious industry body such as ACAAI which represents India’s Air Cargo Industry."

The airport has emerged as India’s first airport based Free Trade Zone, offering services such as value processing, trading and distribution, duty deferment options and warehousing to optimise their logistics and distribution costs significantly and also enjoy the benefits of tax incentives as offered by the Government of India.

The facilities provided at the FTZ would help logistics companies to warehouse their commodities for both short and long term without impact on import duty.
