Blue Dart Express Limited announced the expansion of its network by adding Guwahati as a direct flying location.
This strategic decision was driven by Blue Dart’s vision to empower Northeast India, a region that plays a pivotal role in the country’s economic growth. With Guwahati being a key business hub for industries such as tea, handicrafts, pharmaceuticals, and more, this move will help boost local businesses and enhance regional connectivity.
Through this expansion, Blue Dart aims to offer next-day services to Guwahati and a 48-hour delivery timeline to neighbouring states. This improved connectivity will cater to the region’s rapidly growing consumption ecosystem, ensuring that businesses in Northeast India can seamlessly reach customers across the country within 24 to 48 hours.
The service also provides flexibility with late cut-off times and early delivery options, optimising customer satisfaction. Local businesses, especially those handling high-value or perishable goods, will benefit from minimised delivery times, reduced damages, and faster access to markets.
Blue Dart’s dedicated network, supported by specialised infrastructure and a robust fleet of ground vehicles, ensures operational efficiency across all levels. The company’s expanding aircraft operations include two Boeing 737-800 freighters, each with a capacity of 21 tons per flight.
These freighters facilitate the efficient movement of goods across key markets, ensuring faster turnarounds and timely deliveries. With optimised transit schedules, Blue Dart guarantees businesses across Northeast India can access wider markets while connecting to national and global trade routes.
