- Mr. B. Kartikeya

How is Blue Dart assisting Indians in fighting against the COVID19 pandemic? Can you shed some light on your Contact Less Delivery?

We’ve pitched in to support our nation during previous disasters – the Bhuj earthquake in 2001 and the Tsunami in 2004 ferrying relief materials to areas inaccessible to other modes of transportation. It’s no different during this pandemic. Our teams in our domestic express services and our aviation network have stepped in to bridge the gap in transporting essential supplies when passenger airlines are grounded and the country has been under a complete lockdown. As part of essential services, we’ve worked through the lockdown, flying across our domestic network and launching our international operations to Guangzhou, Shanghai, Dhaka, Hong Kong and Yangon, carrying vital supplies including ventilators, PPEs, testing kits, reagents, enzymes, respirators, surgical masks, goggles and gloves amongst other medical and pharmaceutical supplies. Blue Dart is also working closely with the Government of India, several State Governments, Municipalities, pharmaceutical companies, hospitals and other research institutions to help the nation fight this war against the COVID-19 pandemic.
