Review of Operations

 

The Company, the largest domestic freighter operator in South Asia, with a fleet of four B757 and three B737-20D freighters, has continued to support the air express leadership position of Blue Dart Express Limited during the year with a sustained focus on safety and high standards of service quality. The Company has posted a Technical Dispatch Reliability (TDR) of 98.89 % for the older B737 fleet and 99.26 % for the B757 fleet, with an overall TDR of 99.13 % during the year. Within the constraints of the developing airport environment, the shortage of parking bays and the frequent non-availability of adjacent parking bays that adversely impact smooth ground operations, the Company has posted an On-Time Performance (OTP) of 77 08 % for the B737 and 82.37 % for the B757 fleet with an overall OTP of 80 56 %, amongst the highest in the Indian skies The Company has initiated an additional scheduled route with the 4^ 757 at short notice, obtaining the required slots at the congested MIAL airport, to support the surge in demand generated by the sudden upturn in the economy, With the existing resources, the Company with uplifted 78,253 tonnes on its network in 2010, compared to an uplift of 63,500 tonnes in the previous year, and handled 50 charters.

 

Review of Performance

 

The Indian Aviation environment has witnessed robust growth in 2010, with a 3,4% in aircraft movement and 16 2% in passengers handled, while cargo has grown at 26.9%.

 

The Company has obtained an exemption for Cargo Airlines to the Ground Handling Policy, which mandated outsourcing of ground handling to approved third party service providers at major airport, after intensive two years engagement with the Ministry of Civil Aviation and the Director General of AVI Aviation {DGCA) by appraising them on the special needs of cargo airlines.

 

The Company has enhanced its engineering capability and successfully completed the First 4C check on the B757 (VT-BDK) on 24 May 2010, and the first B757 Landing Gear replacement on VT-BDK on 02 June 2010.

 

During the year, the Company has received DGCA approval for CAMO (Continuing Airworthiness Maintenance Organization} on 31 July 2010, and the corresponding restructure of CAMO and CAR 145 in the Engineering and Quality Departments was completed. The Company has obtained BCAS (Bureau of Civil Aviation Security) approval for off-site warehouse at Mumbai which facilitated security and palletisation procedures to be performed at an off-airport facility and eased the congestion at Company's constrained Mumbai Airport warehouse, bringing in an improvement in performance at Mumbai.

 

The Company has obtained a dispensation to the noise restrictions between 2200 to 0600 hours at Delhi Airport for our B737-200, which are Chapter 2 aircraft, for the winter schedule, Implementation of this restriction in future poses a high risk as their capability to meet the demands of our Delhi station, which has the highest capacity demand1 in the country, would be severely limited without the operations of our two B737-200 aircraft via Delhi during the restricted hours.

 

In the beginning of the year the Company has outstanding Capital Advance of Rs. 566 million and during the year the Company has taken Rs. 559 million as additional Capital advance towards fixed assets addition from Blue Dart Express Limited- The Company has converted the entire capital advance outstanding into term loan from blue dart express limited, and the rate of interest charged for the this assistance is at an average base rate of IDBI Bank and ICICI bank.
