In 2016, India and Afghanistan launched an air-freight corridor in an attempt to provide greater access for Afghan goods to the Indian market.
The inauguration of the Dedicated Air Cargo Corridor between Kabul-Delhi and Kandahar-Delhi has provided a fresh impetus to bilateral trade.
The Air Corridor has ensured free movement of freight despite the barriers put in place due to the denial of transit by Pakistan. During the Strategic Partnership Council meeting it was decided to further strengthen the corridor and expand it to other cities in India. Over 1000 tonnes of cargo has already been transported through air Corridor since its inauguration.
