## Description

Tripura's GI-tagged queen pineapple is exactly the kind of cargo Agartala's Maharaja Bir Bikram Airport (IATA: IXA) wants to fly out: domestic belly freight is handled by AAI subsidiary AAICLAS, and a dedicated cargo terminal is under construction to speed up perishables from the Northeast. The airport sits 12 km north-west of Tripura's capital, hard against the Bangladesh border fence. IndiGo and Air India Express link IXA with Kolkata, Delhi, Guwahati and Bengaluru, and a new passenger terminal opened in 2022. International freight is routed via Kolkata (CCU), as IXA handles domestic cargo only.
