In 1996, Gati tied up with Indian Airlines to facilitate speedier delivery of shipment. This twelve-year relationship has now been further strengthened with the launch of the co-branded (Air India Gati ) air cargo and courier service. This lethal combination will demonstrate the value the customers can derive from the synergies of the two majors in air and surface networks.

Gati was the first to run the millenium parcel express train in October 2001 between Mumbai and Kolkata with 10 VPUs. Unfortunately in the year 2003, this initiative was discontinued. Once again Gati has taken the initiative to run the parcel express train between KYN (Mumbai) and NGC (Guwahati). The parcel train is a classic example of PPP (Public Private Partnership).

The Gati advantage of seamless connectivity across air, road, ocean and rail has resulted in a plethora of offerings to the customer unmatched in the industry. Besides having a strong network in India, Gati has a strong market presence in the Asia Pacific region and SAARC countries. Today, Gati has offices in China, Singapore, Japan, Dubai, Hong Kong, Thailand, Nepal and Sri Lanka and have plans to foray into other markets.
