According to an official statement, the addition of the new aircraft will also strengthen Blue Dart's charter capabilities within the country and between India and the SAARC region. Blue Dart has obtained necessary permissions from the Director-General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) for the new aircraft. The statement, quoting the Managing Director, Mr Clyde Cooper, said: "The induction of the fifth aircraft would bolster the distribution capabilities of the company and also give us the opportunity to operate more charter services within the country, as well as to neighbouring countries such as Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. The new aircraft will help us meet the increasing demands on capacity and complement our ground and air network."
