## Description

Perishables and consumer goods in, some seafood out — air freight at Veer Savarkar Airport (IXZ) in Port Blair moves almost entirely as belly cargo on passenger flights. The airport, which doubles as the naval air station INS Utkrosh, is the Andaman Islands' main link to mainland India. There is no dedicated freight terminal for intercontinental traffic; consignments consolidate through Chennai (MAA) and Kolkata (CCU). The island setting and military use make IXZ a logistical special case.
