the most expensive type of cargo is air to air. India can probably sell certain things through air to air but what is Afghanistan going to send back that is going to warrant paying air to air cargo fares ?
WELL....
It depends.. some times when you purchase an airline ticket if you have realised it indicates what percentage of what you are paying them that goes to the taxes they pay. It is huge without which the same ticket would have cost you the half or less!
India can certainly export certain product(s), a key product they can export to Afghanistan via air cargo and some Indian companies can make $millions of is medicines and related products. This is very feasible despite costly transportation given India's huge competitive edge over any other country in this industry. Now with some waivers and incentives by both government, Afghan products of any type can take advantage of being piggybacked (a marketing term which can aptly applied here) to India and there should be no problem what so ever and both sides win. Thinking out of the box and sometime what looks non-conventional can be done by India and Afghanistan here. Perfecto!
Looks like Afghanistan taking serious steps towards getting rid of its reliance on Pakistan.
It wasn't long ago that we had Pakistani traders in Kabul crying over loosing their wheat market to Kazakhstan and Tajikistan etc.
Yet Pakistan is set to loose another big piece of this vital market.
