Does BD has any plans of expansion.May be International Air Cargo.More a/cs.
By the way how much is DHL involved in BD.
And also why do u think flyington may not be a reality. |

About the Company details....I'll disclose only non confidential stuff.Im sure you all will understand the reason.
DHL owns Blue Dart Express that Owns Blue Dart Aviation.
FDI in Indian Aviation is restricted by law & no foreign Airline can own an Indian Airline.
DHL is very much Involved in BDA & its fantastic working in this environment.
Future International expansion all depend on Govt policies.
Yes BDA will be expanding every year,but as per loads.
About Flyington Freighters.They plan to get in B777 Freighters.Its not easy operating a huge new type Aircraft from the start.Cargo operation to be sucessfull requires good road network connectivity too.
Another Freighter operator in the pipeline is Reliance with 40T Aircraft.

Heard a rumor that they're starting operations again soon from a friend who was recruited and trained by them and now flying elsewhere  They had some overambitious plan to fly to colombo with a Fokker! |

Besides the regular air cargo operators there are certain big MNC,s which are also in air and ocean freight consolidation . Incase of air These consolidators consolidate the cargo and then dispatch it to various countries thru regular air services being operated in the belly cargo hold area of the passenger aircrafts..
The Major companies are:
Schenkers
Panalpina
Kuehne and Nagel
Expeditors
DHL EXL
