Close on the heels of Bangladesh allowing India to use its Chittagong and Mongla ports for transporting goods through Bangladeshi territory, India reciprocated by deciding to open the Delhi Air Cargo complex for Bangladeshi transit cargo in an effort to advance its regional trade hub goals.
This is as per reports, which citing India’s Central Board of Excise and Customs (CBEC), maintained from 15 February, Bangladesh’s transshipment cargo is to be handled at the air cargo complex even if Bangladeshi exporters had been using the Kolkata air cargo complex since June 2020.
However, as per The Loadstar, fewer flight connections limited their ability to take advantage of the alternative trade corridor, even if Delhi Airport has expansive international flight connections and greater market reach.
