Kempegowda International Airport, already a prominent name in India’s air infrastructure, has retained its position as the top Indian airport for exporting perishables for the fourth consecutive year. This feat has been supported by an 18% growth in cargo tonnage, reaching 63,188 metric tons in the 2023-24 fiscal year, according to Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL).
