About This Airport
Lufthansa Cargo brought New Delhi back into its freighter network for the summer 2026 schedule, lifting the German carrier to six weekly services from 29 March 2026 — one signal among many that Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) remains India's premier air cargo gateway. The airport crossed one million tonnes in fiscal 2024/25 for the second year running, handling about 1.11 million tonnes in total, roughly 730,000 international and 380,000 domestic, up some 11% year on year. Operator DIAL, led by the GMR group, runs a 150-acre air cargo complex with two integrated terminals, dedicated pharma and perishables centres, dangerous-goods storage and transshipment facilities. More than sixty carriers and over thirty freighter airlines — among them Emirates SkyCargo, Qatar Airways Cargo, Turkish Cargo, Cathay Cargo, FedEx and IndiGo CarGo — link Delhi to 70-plus international and 80-plus domestic destinations. Four runways and round-the-clock customs clearance underpin throughput, while inland container depots such as Tughlakabad connect by bonded trucking. Northern India's pharma plants in Baddi, garment units in Noida and Gurugram and auto-parts makers across Haryana feed the export mix, now joined by fast-growing e-commerce. With no seaport nearby, Delhi leans on air-road combinations and the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor towards the ports of Mumbai and Mundra.
