## Description

Some 330 km of highway separate Aurangabad Airport (IXU) from Mumbai's cargo terminals – and that is the route most regional air freight actually takes. The AAI-run airport in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (renamed from Aurangabad in 2023) handles domestic flights to Mumbai, Delhi and Hyderabad plus seasonal Hajj charters. There is no dedicated cargo terminal: small consignments of agricultural produce and industrial goods move through the passenger terminal, while a separate freight facility remains at the proposal stage. The surrounding Shendra–Bidkin industrial corridor (AURIC), with automotive and brewing plants, generates steady demand that forwarders currently truck to BOM. UNESCO-listed Ajanta and Ellora caves keep passenger traffic steady.
