Madurai: Here is some good news for trade and industry in the southern districts of Tamil Nadu. The Central government has allowed international freight movement from Madurai airport.
According to Madurai airport director K. Sangaiah Pandian, the Union finance ministry has issued customs notification dated May 28, 2013 to handle cargo at the Madurai airport. “All types of goods right from perishable to industrial and textiles can be exported. And, there is no restriction on quantity either,” Pandian told Deccan Chronicle.
To start with, the international flights operating from and to Madurai are expected to haul belly cargo (cargo stowed under the main deck of an aircraft). However, the notification permitting “unloading of imported goods and the loading of export goods or any class of such goods” also means exclusive cargo flights could also be operated.
