Why it matters
This development is a significant infrastructure improvement that will likely boost regional trade and economic connectivity in central and southern Tamil Nadu.
Domestic cargo movement at the Tiruchi International Airport is poised to take off following clearance granted by the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS), an independent department under the Ministry of Civil Aviation.
The BCAS clearance has fulfilled the long-pending demand for domestic cargo movement at the non-metro Tiruchi International Airport, which witnesses more overseas flight services than domestic operations. The BCAS had granted the final security vetting approval recently which has cleared the way for domestic cargo operations at Tiruchi airport.
The approval was accorded after sustained coordination by the Airports Authority of India with the relevant authorities to find a workable and secure solution to facilitate domestic cargo movement from Tiruchi airport. “A dedicated area adjacent to the international export cargo terminal has been identified for handling domestic cargo”, said Tiruchi Airport Director Tiruchi G. Gopalakrishnan.
