Chennai Airport has enticed back air cargo customers with “more focus on technology and less human interference”. Cargo throughput in May was up 35%, year on year, to 42.765m tonnes. The Express reports that Nokia, Lenovo, Foxconn, Nissan and BMW have all increased volumes, while the airport has implemented changes such as single-window clearance.  Customers that had migrated to other airports were now coming back, said the airport director.
