Guwahati: The GIAL domestic cargo terminal at Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (LGBIA), Guwahati, has achieved a new milestone by handling a record 952 metric tonnes (MT) of cargo in a single month.
This performance in July surpasses the previous all-time high of 841 MT, reflecting a 13.2 per cent overall increase in cargo throughput.
This surge in performance was largely fueled by a substantial 15.26% rise in inbound cargo, with the highest volumes arriving from Delhi and Bengaluru. The strong inbound traffic highlights the terminal’s growing efficiency and its importance as a key logistics hub for Northeast India.
On the outbound side, the airport saw a 5.24% growth in cargo. Agartala and Imphal emerged as the top-performing sectors, followed by Delhi, Bengaluru, Mumbai (BOM), and Kolkata. This growth underscores the airport’s strategic role in facilitating trade from the region to major metropolitan destinations across the country.
According to LGBIA authorities, this exceptional performance is a direct result of streamlined operational processes, a committed workforce, and a customer-centric approach that consistently meets and exceeds stakeholder expectations.
The terminal continues to demonstrate strong capabilities in handling increasing volumes while maintaining high standards of efficiency and service delivery.
