<h1>50:50 JV launches O&M domestic cargo handling with digitised tracking, regulatory compliance, and certified hazardous-goods processes</h1> A 50:50 joint venture between an Indian flag carrier and a Singaporean ground-handling firm has commenced domestic cargo handling at Swami Vivekananda Airport under an operator-and-management (O&M) role. The venture's launch establishes contractual O&M responsibilities, operational standards, and regulatory compliance obligations (aviation, customs, safety and hazardous goods regimes) and introduces digitised cargo tracking and documentation that may raise data-protection and liability considerations. The facility is positioned to handle regulated goods (pharmaceuticals, perishables, high-value and industrial machinery), potentially affecting regional supply-chain access, tariff and competition dynamics, and requiring ongoing certifications and adherence to statutory cargo-handling and trade facilitation rules.
