IndiGo has commenced dedicated freighter operations from Navi Mumbai International Airport, operating its first cargo flight to Sharjah on Saturday. The milestone marks the launch of scheduled freighter services at India’s newest greenfield airport and signals its emergence as a key air cargo hub. The airline deployed its Airbus A321 freighter, carrying a mix of perishables and general cargo to Sharjah. IndiGo, which had previously operated ad hoc cargo flights between Mumbai and Sharjah, now plans to establish regular freighter services from Navi Mumbai to cater to the growing demand for air cargo between India and the Middle East. The move comes as several international cargo operators are preparing to expand their presence at Navi Mumbai.
