Before Cross Line Aviation & Cargo existed, the wider Cross Line Group was already inside Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport's biggest transformation: our group's granite and porcelain tile divisions supplied materials used directly in the construction of HSIA's new Third Terminal — including its dedicated cargo building — as well as at Abu Dhabi International Airport.
Cross Line Aviation & Cargo is not approaching this market as an outsider; the group helped build the physical infrastructure it now plans to operate through, granting our executive team unique institutional familiarity with airport authorities and ground handling consortia.
