RGIA Enhances Taipei, Hyderabad, Dubai Cargo Corridor

The new service strengthens Rajiv Gandhi International Airport’s (RGIA) in Shamshabad growing position as one of India’s leading air cargo gateways, while further enhancing trade connectivity between East Asia, India and the Middle East.

With a payload capacity exceeding 100 tonnes and long-haul operating capabilities, the Boeing 777F will significantly boost cargo movement across the strategic Taipei–Hyderabad–Dubai corridor.

The new service is expected to support the seamless movement of high-value and time-sensitive shipments, including pharmaceuticals, life sciences products, electronics, semiconductors, perishables and express cargo.

Speaking on the development, Kadhir Kadhiravan, CEO, GMR Hyderabad International Airport Ltd., said: "The introduction of Emirates SkyCargo’s dedicated Boeing 777 Freighter service on the Taipei–Hyderabad–Dubai corridor is a significant milestone in Hyderabad Airport’s cargo growth journey.

“As global supply chains continue to evolve, cargo infrastructure and connectivity are becoming critical drivers of economic competitiveness. The new freighter service is expected to play a key role in supporting the movement of servers and other high-value technology equipment,” he said.

“By strengthening the connectivity between major technology and manufacturing hubs, the route offers a secure, reliable, and time-sensitive logistics solution for critical digital infrastructure cargo, further reinforcing Hyderabad's position as a preferred gateway for technology-driven supply chains,” he said.

“At RGIA, we have been consistently investing in world-class cargo infrastructure, digital capabilities and specialized handling solutions to support the growing needs of international trade. The addition of this strategic corridor further enhances our cargo ecosystem and reinforces our vision of transforming Hyderabad into one of the most important logistics and cargo hubs in the region," he added.
