The Hindu Business Line : Tulsi Mirchandaney is Blue Dart Aviation’s new MD

Bangalore, Feb. 19 Blue Dart Aviation, India’s domestic cargo airline, today announced the appointment of Ms Tulsi Mirchandaney as the organisation’s new Managing Director. She was earlier Senior Vice-President (Marketing and Projects) with Blue Dart Express and has taken over this new responsibility from Mr Niteen Gupte.

Not new to Blue Dart’s aviation operations, Ms Mirchandaney joined the company in 1995 to create and market the air cargo products for the launch of India’s first express airline, and was involved in route planning and space allocation.

As the company’s new Managing Director, Ms Mirchandaney will now be the Accountable Manager of the organisation, which operates a fleet of seven freighters, 3-B757s and 4-B737s, offering a payload of 300 tonnes per night across the seven major airports in the country.

Way back in 1996, we started a new chapter in India’s aviation industry with the first jet domestic freighter operations, and it is a source of great pride to have added an important milestone in a country that has a long history in aviation.

“We provide the unique air infrastructure support to South Asia’s largest express company, and it is our intent to progress our operational and service excellence to sustain Blue Dart’s leadership position in this market.”
