Frankfurt Airport (FRA) and Bangalore Airport (BLR) signed a memorandum of understanding on February 25, 2026, at the Air Cargo India trade show to enhance cooperation in the air freight sector. Fraport Cargo, which previously partnered with Shanghai Pudong Airport, emphasizes collaboration over financial investments.

Discussions for this partnership began in April 2025, highlighting Bangalore's strong semiconductor and technology sectors. The agreement comes as the EU and India negotiate a free trade zone, which could significantly increase trade between the regions. Fraport plans to implement a gateway concept at BLR, focusing on efficient cargo flow and connectivity.
