In a significant step for India’s expanding air-cargo ecosystem, Air India SATS Airport Services Private Limited (AISATS) and Continental Carriers Private Limited (CCPL) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Friday at the AISATS Multi-Modal Cargo Hub located at Noida International Airport, Jewar. The MoU was formalised in the presence of Vaibhav Vohra, Managing Director of Continental Carriers Pvt. Ltd., and Ramanathan Rajamani, Chief Executive Officer of AISATS, alongside senior officials from both organisations.
Under the framework of this partnership, the two companies will collaborate to enable seamless, customs-compliant export transshipment cargo movement from Delhi’s air freight stations to the air cargo terminal at Jewar. This coordinated effort is expected to ensure timely handover of cargo to designated airlines, streamline regulatory procedures, and significantly reduce logistics costs for exporters.
“We are proud to associate with AISATS, an organization known for developing world-class cargo infrastructure and global-standard operating systems that modernise logistics ecosystems and enhance ease of doing business for exporters and trade partners,” said Vohra following the signing.
From the AISATS side, Rajamani underlined that the multi-modal cargo hub at Jewar Airport — developed at an investment of around ₹2,000 crore — is now in its final stages of completion and is expected to be operational within a few months after the airport begins its commercial flights. He emphasised that this integrated cargo ecosystem will bring together airside operations, bonded trucking, and modern cargo terminals into a seamless logistics environment that meets global compliance and operational standards.
Rajamani also highlighted that once fully operational, the cargo facility will help decongest existing air cargo infrastructure in the Delhi-NCR region and provide enhanced cargo services for both domestic and international freight. The hub’s facilities include truck parking for 42 vehicles, docking bays for 27 heavy vehicles, an express courier terminal, warehouses, an e-commerce logistics park, and consolidation centres for freight forwarders and value-added service providers — all designed for future expansion.
