The document summarizes a study on the future prospects of air freight cargo industry in India. It finds that while air cargo accounts for only 1% of total cargo volume, it carries around 29% of total trade value due to high-value goods. Several issues hamper growth of the industry like inadequate infrastructure at airports, lack of special cargo facilities, and high airport dwell times compared to global standards. The air cargo sector is projected to grow at a CAGR of 11.2% over the next 20 years but growth of airport handling capacity is lagging behind traffic growth, requiring increased investment.
