Dhaka, Jan. 5 -- Cathay Cargo plans to increase its investments in India, recognizing the country's rise as a global manufacturing hub, said Rajesh Menon, Regional Head of Cargo for South Asia, Middle East, and Africa.

The Hong Kong-based air freight operator currently operates 13 weekly freighter services to India, with five each to Delhi and Chennai, and three to Mumbai. Menon highlighted India as a strategic market, noting the company's long-standing presence since 1953 and steady growth since launching freighter operations in 2000.

"India has always been an important market for us. The growth trajectory here is impressive, and we're eager to continue investing as part of this dynamic journey," Menon told PTI.
