Cargo handled by Indian Civil Aviation refers to the total volume of freight and mail processed through India’s airport infrastructure, measured in thousand tonnes. This metric encompasses all goods transported via air, including commercial shipments, postal items, and express cargo, processed through different categories of airports: those operated by the Airports Authority of India (AAI), joint venture international airports, and Public-Private Partnership (PPP) airports. It serves as a key indicator of air freight activity, logistics efficiency, and overall trade facilitation through India’s aviation network.
