India wants to route more air freight through its own Delhi airport. Previously, some of this cargo has been routed through major hubs such as Dubai, Doha, or Singapore. A new procedure is now intended to make Delhi faster and thus more attractive. The route Chennai–Delhi–Frankfurt was tested. Eligible cargo no longer needs to be completely dismantled and inspected piece by piece during transfer in Delhi. It can remain in the same secured ULD. A ULD is, in simple terms, an air cargo container or a special aircraft pallet. According to Air India, the average connection time in Delhi has been reduced from 36 to 48 hours to 5 to 8 hours. The Indian government reports a reduction of 60 to 20 hours for the entire transport chain. This makes a connecting flight more realistic and reduces unnecessary handling. The procedure is now being expanded. In addition to Chennai, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Mumbai will serve as starting points. In Europe, Frankfurt, Copenhagen, and London Heathrow are being served. This is interesting for freight forwarders, but not yet a foregone conclusion. The cargo must be correctly secured at the origin. Labeling, booking, and freight documents must also be correct. Otherwise, the time advantage quickly disappears. Delhi can thus become more competitive on individual India-Europe routes. However, it cannot yet be considered a true replacement for Dubai, Doha, or Singapore. For that, it needs more destinations, more capacity, and consistently reliable connections.
