AISATS invests Rs 200 crore in new logistics park at KIA

It also boasted annual cargo tonnage of 5,02,480 MT in FY25, while aiming to handle 1 million MT of cargo by 2030.

It will serve as a vital node in accelerating SATS’ hub-handling capabilities across our global network,” said Bob Chi, CEO for APAC Gateway Services of SATS.
