A common user domestic cargo terminal to handle general cargo, courier and post office mail was inaugurated at the Chennai airport. The facility has been set up in an area of 2,610 sq m with an additional 300 sq m available as open area.
The facility is expected to handle around 40,000 tonnes of cargo annually, said Chennai airport director Deepak Shastri, in a release. Facilities available at the terminal include X-ray machines, hand pallet trolleys, forklift, CCTV coverage for internal security, and separate storage space for general, valuable and special cargoes. Office space is available for all operating domestic airlines and handling companies.
Gate No 6, which is used for domestic cargo movement, will not be available for use once the new facility is fully operational. All domestic airlines are to operate from the new facility, the release said.
