## Description

Two dates define Surat Airport (STV) as a freight node: 2018, when it became a customs airport, and 2023, when it gained international status. Surat processes a large share of the world's cut and polished diamonds, and air cargo today runs mainly through courier and diamond consignments carried alongside passenger flights. A dedicated cargo complex is under construction, paired with a planned high-security vault for direct diamond import and export. The airport is well connected by road across South Gujarat, while the major Hazira seaport nearby complements air freight. Over time, STV is set to add textiles, fresh produce and cut flowers to its cargo mix.
