International air freight in India has grown significantly in recent decades. Three key points: 1) India's international air trade as a percentage of GDP has doubled from 4% to 8% in the last 20 years. Major players like Singapore Airlines, Lufthansa, and Emirates dominate the market. 2) Studies forecast continued strong growth of 6-7% annually, requiring 90 additional freighter aircraft by 2025. The government aims to improve infrastructure, reduce costs and clearances, and increase foreign investment. 3) Air freight grew 19% from 2011-2013, faster than sea or rail freight, though challenges remain around infrastructure bottlenecks, high costs, and unstable policies.
