India-UK FTA Poised to Reshape Air Cargo
News: The UK-India Free Trade Agreement (FTA), signed in July, marks the most comprehensive UK trade pact since Brexit, aiming to double bilateral trade to US$120 billion by 2030.
Covering 99% of Indian exports and major UK goods, it is projected to add £4.8 billion to UK GDP and £5.1 billion to India’s GDP.
The deal is set to reshape air cargo flows, boosting demand for high-value, time-sensitive freight on routes between India’s key metros and UK hubs.
Pharma, perishables, and aerospace are major beneficiaries, with faster customs clearance and cold chain efficiencies.
A dedicated customs chapter enhances digital compliance, transparency, and supply chain visibility, while limited labor mobility provisions strengthen logistics, aviation, and services trade.
