Marking a historic moment, SpiceJet launched the first dedicated cargo flight from Visakhapatnam on Tuesday, 25 February. The flight was flagged off in style with a water cannon salute.
The Andhra Pradesh Air Travellers Association (APATA) had earlier requested the introduction of cargo flights from Visakhapatnam given the immense potential. The association had noted
that a considerable volume of cargo was being sent to Chennai and Hyderabad airports via roadways, due to a lack of cargo flights from Visakhapatnam. The new cargo flight, therefore, is expected to boost the transport of cargo from Vizag, especially in the areas of seafood and pharma.While the Chennai-Surat cargo flights, via Visakhapatnam, will be operated on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, the Chennai-Vizag-Kolkota flight will be carrying freight on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.
