Blue Dart to boost airport connect

Air express and courier firm Blue Dart is all set to add new cargo facilities and expand at existing ones at major airports to cut down on turnaround time for loading and unloading cargo and courier. Run-up to Budget 2008-09
The company is setting up a 1000 sq m temporary facility at Hyderabad Airport at a cost of about Rs 20-25 crore, which would be operational by end of March 2008. This would be increased to about 2500 sq m in the coming months.
Blue Dart currently has a 1,500 sq mt facility at HAL Bangalore International Airport and is constructing a bigger facility of 9,500 sq mt at Bangalore International Airport Ltd (BIAL), which is scheduled to replace HAL.
Anil Khanna, managing director, Blue Dart, said: "If HAL is not completely shut, we would retain our 1,500 sq m facility there, further increasing our space to 11,000 sq m in Bangalore."
