Kerala Air Cargo Hampered by Iran-Israel Conflict
The conflict between Iran and Israel has caused problems for sending goods from Kerala, India.
Flights have been stopped, which means that cargo, especially fruits and vegetables, can't be shipped.
Before, about 200 tonnes of goods were sent out daily.
Now, almost all cargo transport has stopped.
Exporters are worried because they can't send their products, and some flights have had to turn around.
Air cargo from Kerala airports is affected by the Iran-Israel conflict.
Daily cargo from Cochin, Thiruvananthapuram, and Kozhikode airports was around 200 tonnes.
Suspension of flights, especially to GCC nations, impacts cargo movement.
Approximately 95% of cargo operations have stopped.
Exporters are concerned about the disruption to perishable goods transport.
