India's First Greenfield Air Freight Station (AFS)

Greenfield Air Freight Station at Kapashera, New Delhi, is a dream project of our guiding light and late founder, Shri TN Vohra. His vision was to create a cutting-edge facility for handling/processing international cargo, at off-Airport location, before delivering it to the Airline in ‘ready for carriage’ condition at Airport location.  Today, Continental Carriers Pvt Ltd operates India’s 1st RA-3 accredited Green Field Air Freight Station (AFS) at Kapashera, New Delhi, adjacent to Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi.

This is a revolutionary air cargo and logistics management system designed to facilitate the transportation of export cargo, which will be customs cleared by Customs officials, positioned at Air Freight Station itself, and security cleared by Continental Carriers BCAS qualified screeners following BCAS security guidelines, to airport(s) for delivery to airlines through Continental Carriers closed body trucks under Customs escort.

The establishment of an Air Freight Station is expected to promote competition among the Cargo Terminal Operators, by tapping the market in Tier II and Tier III cities. It will not only lower the overall logistics costs, as outlined in the recently launched ‘National Logistics Policy’ under the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan, but will also reduce the congestion at the Airport during the peak period.

The facility provided to shippers encompasses a range of conveniences aimed at streamlining the export process and enhancing efficiency. Shippers benefit from the avoidance of congestion at the airport during peak periods, along with the flexibility of shifting cargo to the Air Freight Station (AFS) at their convenience. 

With RA-3 certification, transportation directly to European Union countries and the UK is facilitated, accompanied by customized tariffs.

Moreover, the reduction in multiple handling of export shipments by 50% and faster booking confirmation contribute to expedited processes. 

Additionally, commercial benefits such as special freight rates, cost-effective groupage services, and competitive rates for specific destinations are offered. Value-added services further enhance the offering, including customized loading, pilferage control, and secure storage facilities, all accessible through an online booking platform with quote and book capabilities.

Benefits of Air Freight Station (AFS) to the industry:

  • Reduced congestion at airport terminals
  • Improved efficiency 
  • Reduced dwell time  
  • Maximum installed capacity utilization 
  • Minimized logistics costs.
We facilitate the consolidation and swift transportation of cargo by efficient and reliable air cargo handling services to airlines, freight forwarders, and other customers.  The Air Freight Station (AFS) is aligned with the National Logistics Policy under the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan, which aims to lower overall logistics costs, bring ease of doing business, and modernize the sector.
