What Happened
Afcom Holdings Ltd, engaged in air cargo services and integrated logistics, primarily transporting goods on an airport‑to‑airport basis, has achieved a key operational milestone with the receipt of the Certificate of Registration (CofR) from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) for its third aircraft, which has now been formally inducted into its fleet.
