With its growing export trade, a rapidly expanding domestic economy and an aviation regime that provides open access to freighters, India should be poised to take a major role in the global air cargo industry. Most shipping experts believe the country could take a huge leap forward over the next five years or be restricted to just a few faltering steps, missing out on much of its potential future growth.
