Kenyan dedicated air cargo operator Astral Aviation (Astral) and Indian carrier SpiceXpress (the air cargo operation of low cost airline Spicejet) have signed a cargo interline agreement. Described as a “pioneering” initiative, it will allow the expansion of both Astral’s Indian network and SpiceXpress’ African network. “Thanks to this interline agreement, there will be easier trade between India and Africa allowing movement of commodities at much more competitive rates in the respective markets as well as providing more scheduled frequencies of flights to the benefit of our customers and traders,” affirmed Astral CEO Sanjeev Gadhia. The agreement would allow Astral to expand its network to the Indian cities of Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad and Mumbai. These would be connected through its Middle Eastern hub of Sharjah (in the United Arab Emirates) with Nairobi and many other African centres.
