Several Indian and international aviation and logistics companies such as Air India, Singapore Airport Terminal Services (SATS), Menzies, Bobba, Swissport, Bird Group and Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) have responded, individually or through tie-ups with each other, to two requests for proposals (RFPs) to set up a new cargo facility at Delhi airport and upgrade the existing one.
The RFPs were sent by Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL), the GMR-led consortium that is modernising and operating Delhi airport. The last date to submit the bids is February 16.
Delhi accounts for around 25 per cent of total air cargo transported in the country.
An executive close to the development said Air India has tied up with SATS, Bird Group has tied up with WFS and Menzies with Bobba to bid for the cargo project.
