Mumbai: The Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL), the operator of city airport, has accused many major courier firms of indulging in malpractices by diverting big consignments from the cargo terminal to the courier terminal, causing it to lose revenue.
In a complaint to the customs commissioner, MIAL has alleged that the big players, including DHL Express Pvt Ltd, were found to be indulging in this controversial practice. At the same time, some trade association members have named FedEx and a few other biggies in connection with the same.
The courier terminal is authorised to handle documents and samples weighing not more than 70 kg. A letter from Manoj Singh, vice-president – cargo (MIAL) states that the firms are diverting about 1,000 metric tonnes of cargo to the courier terminal every month.
