Deccan off to a flier in Nagpur

Deccan Express Logistics has taken its first step towards the creation of a nationwide infrastructure for its distribution and delivery service by winning approval for the structural design of its aircraft hangar in the key strategic city of Nagpur.

Once operational, the express cargo hub will form the basis of Deccan’s air and ground distribution network and will be spread over a vast 100-acre campus at Nagpur’s B R Ambedkar Airport. The hub will provide connectivity to more than 85% of India’s GDP and will be ready later this year when Deccan goes live with its operations.

“This would be just the beginning of the various investments Deccan Express Logistics plans to make in building up its infrastructure,” announced Captain G R Gopinath, chairman and managing director of Deccan Express Logistics.

“Our world-class Express Cargo Hub will handle majority of the cargo moving on the Deccan Express Logistics network, thereby controlling the distribution of shipments across the country. This hub will also be an international hub connecting the major economies of Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Europe via India,” Gopinath added.

In addition, Deccan has also signed an MOU with GMR Group to implement express cargo facilities at the airports in Delhi and Hyderabad. As the strategic gateways to northern and southern India, infrastructure at these locations will allow Deccan to establish a multimodal storage, transportation and delivery network.

Another one of Baldy's plants in the local media,wonder who he trying to fool this time around.But you're right he is a smart one , that's what he's trying to do with Deccan Log. as well , he know's he doesn't have a chance in hell but he's trying to sell out and from the rumour mills , it's no less than Mr. M Ambani this time.But I would think that Mr.Ambani is a much smarter man than Dr.Mallya ....the good doctor is still trying to figure out what hit him...but then I guess by the time he does figure it out KF will be long gone...:ok:

Wonder if Gopi can fill those Freighters.The only Successfull operator in the country is BZ [Blue Dart] & they too rely on a coordinated ground network.

was the FO under training for the A310 or the ATR? was the FO a national or expat?

Quote:

Indian express cargo companies experienced a 5-10% decline in business in the first quarter of the current financial year as inflation and a slowdown in industrial problems have taken their toll. “Transport infrastructure, government policies and a lack of understanding of supply chains are major obstacles to growth in India’s express market,” says Ketan Kulkarni, head of marketing, corporate communications and sustainability for Blue Dart Express

How will baldy overcome these and then sell his dream to the financers.....:hmm:

I think all are Indian FO's ..for A310

The FO's are all indian nationals(read 250 hr wonders) training somewhere in Germany , on the 310!!!

Hmmmmmmmm After the first disaster why will anyone believe him.? He is probably so sad he can Not attend every stupid LCC conference in the world to spread his BS............. My god who would give him one red cent?

training somewhere in Germany , on the 310!!!...also known as LFT...Lufthansa Flt Training in FRA...:ok:..good to see the 250hr heros will recive the best training..:D

Did they have to pay for their training ?:cool:

Who will fund Gopi for this new project ???:confused:
I think people have already seen what happened to Air deccan.... And in this downturn, I don't think there are many to trust him and give him the money.

actually one of my friends is currently getting his TYPE done ,i'd reconfirm with him if it is being done at LFT!
and sky dancer,YES they had to sponsor the TYPE by themselves!http://static.pprune.org/images/smilies/thumbs.gif

I sure hope it's money well spent:ok:

DGCA rule exists for Imported aircraft.AI old B732s can be freighter converted as they are already in the country.

As on the A310F plan....Where are the loads.
