West Asia Conflict Halves Air Cargo from Kochi; Perishables Hit Hardest

• The ongoing conflict in West Asia has more than halved air cargo movement from Kochi.
• Perishable goods, including fruits and vegetables, are the worst affected by the disruption.
• Daily cargo volume at CIAL has dropped significantly from 150 tonnes to 60 tonnes.
• A special cargo flight from Abu Dhabi is scheduled to transport 88 tonnes of goods, mostly for Lulu Group.
• Hopes for improvement rise as flights to Gulf countries, including Saudi Arabia, resume operations.
