## Description

Roughly 31 tonnes of cargo in the 2024/25 financial year — a single truckload — sums up the freight role of Belagavi Airport (IXG/VOBM) in northern Karnataka. IndiGo and Star Air connect the AAI-operated field at Sambra with metros such as Bengaluru, Mumbai and Ahmedabad, and passenger traffic has grown sharply under the UDAN regional scheme. A new terminal worth about ₹322 crore, under construction since March 2024, is due for completion by the end of 2026 and will lift capacity from 0.8 to 3.5 million passengers a year; no confirmed plans for a dedicated cargo terminal accompany it. The irony is that Belagavi's Aequs SEZ, India's first aerospace precision-engineering zone, plus a long-established foundry and hydraulics cluster, generate exactly the kind of high-value goods that fly. For now these are trucked to Goa (GOX) or Bengaluru (BLR) for uplift, with customs clearance handled at the departure airport. Shippers should budget several hours of road feeder time into any Belagavi air-freight quotation.
