Blue Dart to replace four cargo aircraft
CHENNAI, India, March 17 (WorldACD) - The Chennai-based air cargo company, Blue Dart Aviation, has decided to replace all its four ageing Boeing 737 cargo aircraft with the Boeing 757. The move is primarily aimed at augmenting carrying capacity without increasing the current fleet size of seven.
Last year, the company inducted a 757 freight carrier, which was its seventh from DHL Expresses’ European Air Transport. DHL Express holds 81 per cent stake in Blue Dart.
Tushar Jani, chairman, Blue Dart Aviation, told the Business Standard, “We cannot increase our fleet size because of lack of parking space at airports and hence will replace the Boeing 737 with Boeing 757.”
