Visakhapatnam: The Airports Authority of India, the Navy and other Government agencies and departments should take immediate steps to facilitate handling of exim cargo at Visakhapatnam airport, as already the city is connected to two international destinations (Singapore and Dubai), according to local trade and industry sources.
The view was expressed at a roundtable on the issue organised here on Monday in the Vizagapatam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) by the chamber in association with the Confederation of Indian Industry and the Air Travellers’ Association.
The chamber President K. Ramabrahmam said the issue brooked no delay as it would impart a great impetus to the growth of Visakhapatnam. The infrastructure should be upgraded and 24-hour operations should be made possible at the airport for the purpose.
