Overview
- Hong Kong Air Cargo began dedicated freighter operations to Navi Mumbai on 16 August 2026, running three weekly A330-200F flights with about 60 tonnes of import and export capacity per sector.
- Navi Mumbai International Ltd says the Hong Kong link is the first of a planned ramp-up that will add around 13 more international freighter services in coming phases.
- Airport operator NMIAL is a special-purpose vehicle with a 74% Adani Group stake and 26% held by CIDCO, and it is positioning NMIA as a new logistics gateway for western India.
- Aeroprime Group acted as the local facilitator and GSA for the launch, saying close commercial coordination, operational readiness and regulatory engagement made the quick start-up possible.
- NMIA plans phased, scalable, tech-enabled cargo infrastructure aligned with India’s National Logistics Policy and Maharashtra’s 2024 Logistics Policy to boost express and specialised trade and create new opportunities for exporters and importers.
