Afcom Holdings has started cargo operations from its second Indian station at Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport (BLR), with its inaugural flight on August 9, 2025 carrying 20,178 kg of cargo to Malé, Maldives. The company, which operates two Boeing 737-800 BCF freighters, plans to use BLR as a launch point for cargo originating from South India's industrial and export hubs, strengthening its South Asia–ASEAN–Middle East corridor. For FY25, Afcom reported total income of ₹242.54 crore, EBITDA of ₹72.61 crore, and net profit of ₹48.42 crore. The expansion aligns with the company's strategy to build a regional air cargo network connecting underserved corridors.
This is a positive operational milestone showing execution of the company's India growth strategy and entry into a high-potential cargo catchment area in South India, but no specific revenue guidance or order value was disclosed, so near-term financial impact remains uncertain.
