National carrier Air India plans to hive off its cargo business into a separate unit by April 1, Anita Khurana, director-cargo, told reporters on Tuesday. Cargo business currently constitutes 8% of Air India's overall revenues and Khurana expects that to increase after the spin-off. Air India, which had stopped cargo flights to Europe and Japan last September, plans to resume these services in the first half of 2010, she added.
