Tiruchi: Notwithstanding a spurt in export cargo growth, offloading of shipments takes place at regular intervals at the Tiruchi international airport for a mosaic of reasons.
Although foreign carriers lift cargo to the optimum level to different overseas destinations from Tiruchi every day, sudden offload of shipments at the eleventh hour causes anxiety to the export community and other stakeholders.
With cargo being despatched in the available belly space in the aircraft, they get offloaded on many an occasion at the last moment because of a gamut of factors.
Increased passenger load, more fuel intake in flight, sudden change of aircraft and temperature are some of the reasons attributed for cargo offload, say airport sources.
In addition to these, cargo remains grounded when an aircraft in which it is to be despatched is grounded for technical reasons for several hours.
