Last year, Blue Dart Express Limited, the leading express air and integrated transportation & distribution company in South Asia, announced that it was expanding its network by adding Guwahati as a direct flying location. To give them a window to expand their business in the area, Blue Dart made this calculated move to strengthen Northeast India, a region that is essential to the nation’s economic development. Guwahati is a major hub for industries like tea, handicrafts, pharmaceuticals, and more. It is well-known for its large consumer base and developing business centres.

With this calculated move, Blue Dart will serve the region’s rapidly expanding consumption ecosystem by providing a strong next-day service to the city and a 48-hour delivery timeline to neighbouring states. In addition to helping local businesses grow, this improved connectivity will guarantee that businesses in Northeast India can easily reach clients throughout the nation in as little as 24 to 48 hours. To maximise customer flexibility, this service also provides early delivery options and late cut-off times. Businesses that handle valuable or perishable goods will gain from improved dependability, fewer damages, and faster access to markets with shorter delivery times and better transit plans.

Optimised operational efficiency is ensured by Blue Dart’s committed network, which is bolstered by specialised infrastructure, a strong fleet of ground vehicles, and growing aircraft operations with two Boeing 737-800 freighters. With a 21-ton capacity per flight, these freighters enable the effective transportation of goods across important markets and guarantee quicker turnaround times. Blue Dart will enable local businesses, MSMEs, and large corporations to access broader markets nationwide by bridging vital markets and enabling more efficient trade routes. Additionally, Blue Dart’s vast network will establish the groundwork for more robust international ties.

Throughout the delivery process, Blue Dart’s creative use of technology, such as real-time supply chain tracking and API integration, guarantees operational efficiency and transparency. By increasing air capacity, enhancing connectivity, and making continuous investments, Blue Dart is promoting economic growth in the community, encouraging entrepreneurship, and accelerating market integration. With this improved connectivity, Blue Dart is solidifying its standing as Northeast India’s go-to logistics partner, assisting companies in achieving unprecedented levels of expansion and prosperity.
