Air India SATS Airport Services Private Limited (AISATS) has signed an MoU with CONCOR Air Limited (CAL), a wholly owned subsidiary of CONCOR, to facilitate the seamless movement of customs-cleared transhipment cargo from CONCOR’s Inland Container Depot (ICD) at Dadri to AISATS’ Integrated Cargo Terminal (ICT) at Noida International Airport (NIA) for onward international dispatch.
The partnership brings together CONCOR’s inland logistics capabilities and AISATS’ air cargo terminal operations, creating a more efficient link between inland cargo facilities and international air freight.
Mr. Bob Chi, CEO, APAC Gateway Services, SATS and Director, AISATS, said: “India is at an important inflection point in the evolution of its logistics and air cargo ecosystem. As global trade volumes grow, as supply chains become increasingly time-sensitive, and as more air cargo is routed to and from India, the aviation ecosystem in India has much to gain as one of the world’s fastest growing aviation freight markets. We recognise India’s strategic strengths and are committed to developing capabilities, infrastructure and partnerships that can help build this future. The collaboration between AISATS and CONCOR Air Limited is a step towards creating a more connected logistics network, linking inland cargo with international air gateways more seamlessly. With Noida International Airport emerging as a new gateway for global trade, we see significant potential to build an integrated cargo ecosystem that is faster, smarter and more competitive.”
Shri Ramanathan Rajamani, CEO, AISATS, said: “Noida International Airport is fast emerging as a critical gateway for international air cargo, and this partnership strengthens that ambition by deepening our connectivity with inland freight networks. Working with CONCOR Air Limited allows us to build a more seamless link between inland logistics and international dispatch and reinforces our commitment to positioning NIA as a hub that global shippers can rely on.”
Shri Vijoy Kumar Singh, Director International Marketing & Operations (DIMO), said: “AISATS and CONCOR Air Limited will leverage their collaboration to facilitate seamless cargo transhipment between ICD Dadri and the AISATS Integrated Cargo Terminal, supported by efficient cargo handling protocols, customs coordination, and streamlined terminal processes. The arrangement is designed to enhance supply chain efficiency, minimise turnaround times, and maintain reliable service for exporters and shippers relying on the route.”
Shri Narmadeshwar Jha, CEO, CONCOR Air Limited, said: “This collaboration marks an important step in strengthening the inland-to-air logistics chain for India’s EXIM trade. By closing the gap between our container depot at Dadri and the international gateway at Noida, we’re able to offer exporters and shippers a faster, more reliable pathway for customs-cleared cargo. As India’s logistics infrastructure continues to scale, partnerships like this one will be central to building the speed and dependability our customers expect.”
The AISATS facility at NIA is equipped to handle perishables, pharmaceuticals, electronics, engineering goods, e-commerce and express cargo, strengthening the region’s cargo infrastructure and supporting India’s growing trade and export ecosystem.
