## Description

For air freight purposes, Akola is a road-feeder town, not an airport story: Akola Airport (IATA: AKD) is an AAI field with virtually no scheduled service and no cargo handling. A long-running runway extension project may eventually change that, but for now the Vidarbha region's cotton, soybeans and pulses – Akola is one of India's dal-milling centres – leave by road and rail. Air shipments are routed via Nagpur (NAG), about 250 km east, where the MIHAN special economic zone offers genuine cargo infrastructure.
