Air India SATS Airport Services Private Limited (AISATS) has signed separate MoUs with Spicexpress Logistics Private Limited and Totsol Aviation Private Limited to explore freighter operations at its Multi Modal Cargo Hub (MMCH) at Noida International Airport (NIA).
Under the agreement with Spicexpress, AISATS plans to facilitate approximately 200 livestock freighter operations between September 2026 and August 2027. The hub’s proximity to livestock-producing regions such as Uttar Pradesh and Haryana is expected to support faster cargo movement to domestic and international destinations.
The agreement with Total Solutions will explore scheduled and non-scheduled cargo freighter operations from NIA, supporting increased connectivity as cargo activities at the airport expand.
Ramanathan Rajamani, CEO, Air India SATS, said, “The AISATS Multi-Modal Cargo Hub is positioned to support more efficient and predictable movement of livestock consignments to both domestic and international markets. The hub also offers the flexibility needed in handling non-scheduled operations. Livestock freighter capacity is central to the growth of the overall industry, and we will act as a catalyst to further enhance it by reducing the timeframe.”
Amit Chadha, Head of SpiceXpress & VP – Spicexpress and Logistics, said, “This MOU partnership with AISATS is about creating a dependable operating model for a category of cargo where consistency matters as much as connectivity.”
Sandeep Datta, Managing Director, Total Solutions Group, added, “Through this collaboration with AISATS, we aim to bring our market knowledge, cargo development capabilities and operational experience to help build sustainable freighter connectivity from Noida International Airport.”
