About the Club

Five decades of friendship, service and shaping India's air cargo industry.

Cargo handling
Our Story

From a Small Circle in 1977 to 235 Members Strong

The Air Cargo Club of Delhi was founded in January 1977 by a small group of friends who shared a common workplace — the cargo terminal at Delhi's Palam Airport. What began as informal evenings of conversation has grown into one of India's most respected cargo fraternities.

Nearly fifty years on, ACCD remains true to its founding spirit: a non-profit, non-political community that places relationships above commerce, and family alongside profession.
