Jharsuguda: The air cargo service is set to start from Veer Surendra Sai Airport in Jharsuguda, Odisha, soon. With this development, Jharsuguda is poised to become a major economic hub in western Odisha.

Goods can be directly exported domestically and internationally from here once the service is launched.

Jharsuguda is a suitable location for a cargo airport from a geographical and infrastructural standpoint. The service will be particularly useful for transporting perishable food items or other goods.

Previously, goods were transported from the area by road and rail, but air cargo transport will give Jharsuguda a new identity.

Various aspects of launching the service were discussed at a high-level meeting held at Jharsuguda airport recently. The airport director informed that small-scale air cargo transport will be initiated in the first phase, followed by larger-scale air cargo transport as needed.
