The New Services Will Boost Tourism In India
Hindustan Times mentioned that Naveen Rao, Director of Delmos Aviation had said that it’s a good start and will boost the tourism industry in the upcoming tourist season. “Also, it will help streamline cargo movement. Most of the airlines are still not flying to Russia due to various sanctions. It is affecting the cargo supply chain from the western region. Aeroflot flights from Goa will help bridge this gap. Weekly flights from Goa will further enhance and streamline the supply chain both for the pharmaceutical sector and other goods industries, ” he further added.
Rao further added that India is the primary exporter of essential pharma supplies to Russia and CIS nations. Western India is a hub of many pharmaceutical companies and other perishable goods.
