Tata Group's Air India plans to increase its cargo handling capacity three-fold in the next five years. The carrier aims to reach a belly capacity of 2 million tonnes as it adds more aircraft to its fleet. Air India is also negotiating a deal to acquire five freighters, most likely from Airbus. The capacity expansion is expected to boost India's export trade, driven by manufacturing prospects and trade diversification. The carrier is implementing various measures to scale up its cargo market share, including tech advancements and extended market reach.
