KIA signs MoU with Frankfurt airport for better cargo transmission

Bengaluru: The Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Frankfurt Airport (FRA) during Air Cargo India to enhance cargo connectivity between South India and Europe.

The collaboration brings together two key cargo gateways, Bengaluru, a manufacturing and export power-zone, and Frankfurt, one of Europe’s most connected cargo hubs.

Under the MoU, both airports aim to establish a structured framework focused on joint trade lane analytics, digital corridor development, pharma integrity standards and knowledge exchange to improve visibility, reduce dwell times and deliver more predictable service levels for cargo stakeholders.

The partnership comes at a time when the recently concluded EU–India Free Trade Agreement (FTA) is expected to unlock new momentum for bilateral trade and air cargo flows.

As trade volumes between India and Europe scale, efficient and reliable cargo corridors will play a critical role in enabling faster market access and strengthening supply chain resilience.
