ITANAGAR, 11 Nov: Following constant persuasion by Civil Aviation Minister Balo Raja, the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) restored the air cargo services at the Donyi Polo Airport in Hollongi from Tuesday.
The cargo services had been put on hold by the airport following shifting of the operations to the newly inaugurated terminal building of the airport.
On 24 October, the Trade & Commerce Department informed the minister about the difficulties being faced various registered and participating MSMEs of the state in dispatching their consignments for the upcoming India International Trade Fair-2025 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, for want of air cargo services from here.
