Bagdogra Airport has recorded a significant increase in litchi cargo movement, with shipments rising by 160% compared with previous levels, highlighting growing demand for agricultural air freight from the region.
The strong growth reflects improved logistics support for farmers and exporters, enabling faster transportation of fresh litchi consignments to domestic and international markets. The airport’s cargo operations have played a key role in maintaining the quality and freshness of the highly perishable fruit during transit.
The surge in litchi shipments comes as demand for premium seasonal agricultural products continues to expand, creating new opportunities for regional producers and strengthening air cargo connectivity from eastern India.
Bagdogra Airport is increasingly emerging as an important gateway for agricultural exports, supporting the movement of time-sensitive commodities and contributing to the growth of the region’s agri-logistics sector.
