Air India has successfully implemented India's new cargo transshipment policy, expanding its pilot project to additional India-Europe corridors. The initiative, which began on 20 June 2026, focuses on the Chennai-Delhi-Frankfurt air cargo route, aiming to streamline cargo movement by eliminating the need for piece-level re-screening during transit.
The new policy allows eligible cargo shipments to remain securely packed, significantly reducing connection times and handling requirements. This development is expected to enhance the efficiency of cargo operations without compromising safety or security. The Proof of Concept (PoC) project has demonstrated the potential for faster and more efficient cargo movement, which is crucial for the growing demands of international trade.
The expansion of this framework to additional corridors marks a significant step in improving India's logistics capabilities. By reducing the time and resources required for cargo handling, the policy is poised to benefit businesses relying on timely and secure cargo delivery across Europe.
Air India's initiative aligns with the Government of India's efforts to modernise and optimise the country's logistics infrastructure. As the project progresses, it is anticipated that more routes will be included, further enhancing the connectivity and efficiency of India's cargo transshipment network
