Noida cargo hub welcomes first domestic freighter flight
The inaugural flight highlights the cargo hub’s role in supporting faster cargo movement and strengthening supply chain connectivity across India.
Air India SATS Airport Services (AISATS) has handled the first domestic freighter flight at the Multi Modal Cargo Hub (MMCH) at Noida International Airport, marking a key milestone for cargo operations at the facility.
The flight, operated by Afcom Holdings, arrived from Chennai on a Boeing 737-800 freighter carrying nearly 20 tonnes of cargo. The shipment included a range of goods, from perishables to precision components.
The milestone marks the first domestic freighter movement handled by AISATS at the cargo hub and highlights the growing cargo capabilities at Noida International Airport.
AISATS said its 87-acre integrated cargo ecosystem, which combines the Integrated Cargo Terminal (ICT) and the Warehousing & Logistics Zone (IWLZ), is designed to support faster turnaround times, seamless cargo movement and stronger supply chains across India.
The company added that the facility will help connect supply markets with consumption centres in North India while also supporting future trade connectivity.
