Introduction
Door deliveries entail cohesive
networks and people to perform
the entire chain of operations,
right up to the customer’s
doorstep. Identifying a vacuum
for a more predictable, organized
and time-definite delivery of
documents and packages, Blue Dart
commenced operations in 1983.
Blue Dart, South Asia’s
premier courier and integrated
express package Distribution Company,
positioning, since inception,
has been of differentiation. Adhering
to this, it introduced a robust
cargo airline infrastructure in
1996, and for over a decade, has
been the nations’ sole successful
freighter operator. Today, it
is an irreplaceable part of the
supply chain for key market players
like DELL, Citibank, HSBC, Nokia,
and HCL etc.
Aircraft Fleet
Blue Dart operates Six freighters
(three Boeing 757 and three Boeing
737), supported by sophisticated
security systems and x-ray machines.
The airline meets the intensive
maintenance rigours and has a
‘lean and mean’ maintenance
team that can conduct up to ‘D’
level check. It is equipped with
a structure repair shop, wheels
and brake shop, avionics and radio
labs with highly qualified technicians
and engineers.
Safety Records
Blue Dart has maintained excellent
safety standards over the years
with nil accident on record since
1997. Frequent Audits and transparency
amongst the departments is the
key to this aspect
Recent Developments
Blue Dart inducted two Boeing
757 in June 2006 and increased
its capacity from 166 to 250 tonnes
per night to service the growing
demand. Its charter capabilities
within the country have also been
fortified. The route network was
extended to 60 with the addition
of 21 route connections to the
earlier 39. To further strengthen
its air infrastructure, an aviation
hub at Ahmedabad, and an outbound
gateway in Hyderabad were also
connected in June 2006.
Blue Dart’s quality and
services have been authenticated
repeatedly with its selection
as a Superbrand in 2004, 2005
and 2006-07. It was awarded the
Brand Leadership Award at the
Indian Brand Summit in 2003 and
was conferred the Reader’s
Digest’s Most Trusted Brand
Gold Award in 2006. |
