India Post eyeing dedicated air freight service
India Post is considering rolling out a dedicated air freight service, using Boeing 737-200 planes leased from Indian Airlines, the national domestic airline, Indian press outlets report today.
The preliminary plan would see India Post lease one of the jets, and as many as three, for the dedicated service. Private freight and courier giant Blue Dart, which was acquired by DHL in 2004, is also considering expanding its fleet of aircraft by six over the next five years. It currently operates seven planes.
