It was promoted in 1983 by Clyde Cooper, Tushar Jani and Kushroo Dubash and DHL Express (Singapore ) took a majority stake in the company in 2005.The current upturn in the domestic economy over the last few quarters is expected to help Blue Dart Express and other players in the logistics segment, to transport increased volumes of packages. In addition, the company’s brand Blue Dart is well recognised and as per various estimates, it helps the company get better realisations vis-à-vis other players in its segment. Blue Dart Express was also debt-free at the end of its financial year of December ‘08 and has strong cash flows to fund its organic growth.Blue Dart Express follows an integrated business model and the company’s fleet of four Boeing 757s and three B737 freighter aircraft are operated by Blue Dart Aviation, an associate company.
