‘Gaps in hinterland linkage poses challenges’

Arun Chandra, VP, Aviation Business, Bangalore International Airport, said “Maintaining cold chain integrity is not about what happens at the airport; it is about ensuring consistency throughout the journey. While airports have invested in specialised facilities, limited refrigerated transportation, fragmented storage, and gaps in hinterland linkage poses significant challenges. Even brief exposure to unsuitable temperatures can compromise product quality and increase costs. Capacity availability is another concern, with geopolitical developments and seasonal demand influencing freighter availability and cargo pricing.”
