Cathay Cargo Urges More Liberal Aviation Policy

29 Aug 2024 CW Team

Cathay Cargo is advocating for a more liberalised aviation policy in India to expand its operations and strengthen international connectivity. The company believes that easing regulatory restrictions would foster a more competitive environment, benefitting both the industry and consumers.

Currently, Cathay Cargo operates several routes between India and international destinations, but the airline aims to increase its frequency and services to meet the growing demand for cargo transportation. With India's trade expanding globally, a more flexible aviation policy could support Cathay Cargo's ability to efficiently transport goods, especially to markets in Asia, Europe, and the Americas.

The company also emphasises the importance of aligning India's aviation policies with international standards, which could attract more investments and boost the overall logistics industry. According to Cathay Cargo, such reforms would not only benefit airlines but also create broader economic benefits by improving the country's supply chain infrastructure and reducing transportation costs.

Cathay Cargo's call comes as India continues to experience significant growth in both its aviation and logistics sectors, driven by rising e-commerce and global trade. A more open and flexible policy framework would help airlines meet future demand and contribute to India's goal of becoming a global logistics hub.
