## Description

Prayagraj is better known for the Kumbh Mela at the Sangam than for freight, yet its airport (IXD) has quietly opened the door to cargo. The civil enclave sits alongside an Indian Air Force station at Bamrauli in Uttar Pradesh, which keeps available capacity modest. India's aviation-security regulator BCAS has cleared cargo flights from the civil enclave, aimed chiefly at perishables such as the GI-tagged Allahabadi guava and regional vegetables. International consignments do not reach Prayagraj directly; they feed through the Delhi (DEL) hub. For forwarders, IXD is therefore a domestic feeder weighted towards agricultural export goods.
