Conflict in West Asia Hits Air Cargo Movement From Kochi

The ongoing conflict in West Asia has affected the movement of air cargo from Kochi that has more than halved now, CIAL officials said on Friday.

Perishables are the worst hit and a special cargo flight from Abu Dhabi is set to land here to clear the consignment, they



said. 

Authorities of Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL) said the situation is expected to improve as more flights have resumed operations in recent days, following disruptions caused by the conflict involving US-Israel and Iran and its impact on the West Asia region.
