Kuwait Airways has transported around 80 tonnes of perishable cargo from Cochin International Airport and Indira Gandhi International Airport, strengthening the air carrier’s role in facilitating temperature-sensitive exports from India.
The shipments primarily consisted of fresh food products and other perishables destined for markets in the Gulf region, where demand for Indian agricultural and seafood products remains strong. The cargo was handled through dedicated cold-chain logistics to ensure product quality and compliance with international handling standards.
Kuwait Airways said the movement reflects growing air freight demand for perishables between India and the Middle East. Efficient air cargo services have become increasingly important for exporters seeking faster delivery times and reliable temperature-controlled transport.
Air cargo stakeholders noted that the operations from Cochin International Airport and Indira Gandhi International Airport highlight the expanding role of Indian airports as key hubs for high-value and time-sensitive exports to international markets.
With continued demand for fresh produce and seafood in the Gulf, carriers like Kuwait Airways are expected to further enhance cargo capacity and specialized logistics solutions to support the growing trade corridor.
