## Description

A single integrated common-user cargo terminal, split into general-cargo and perishables halls, handles everything that moves by air at Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport in Chandigarh (IXC, VICG). Throughput reached 14,512 tonnes in the 2025/26 Indian financial year, roughly 2.6 per cent above the previous period — regional gateway scale rather than hub scale. Dedicated freighter services are not confirmed; volumes travel almost entirely as belly cargo on passenger aircraft, with international lift limited to Dubai and Sharjah. The catchment covers Punjab, Haryana and Himachal Pradesh, whose fruit, vegetable and pharmaceutical shippers rely on the perishables section, with road feeder services running along the NH-5 and NH-44 corridors toward Ludhiana, Ambala and Delhi. Intercontinental consignments, dangerous goods and larger batches are normally trucked to Delhi (DEL) some 250 kilometres south, while Amritsar (ATQ) is the closer choice for western Punjab. An enlarged cargo complex forms part of the airport's development plans, though no completion date has been publicly confirmed.
