## Description

Pilgrims, not pallets: Jolly Grant Airport (IATA: DED) outside Dehradun handles a fast-growing passenger business towards Rishikesh, Haridwar and the Char Dham route, but freight plays a minor role. There is no dedicated cargo terminal; small consignments travel as belly cargo on IndiGo, Air India and SpiceJet services through the AAI passenger terminal opened in 2021. Serious air freight from Uttarakhand – including pharma output from the Haridwar industrial belt – is normally trucked some 250 km to Delhi IGI (DEL), where bonded warehouses and full customs facilities are available. For forwarders, DED works best as a feeder point and courier station rather than a cargo airport.
