Postal Dept to launch air cargo service soon: Maran


Chennai, Aug 14 (UNI)


The Department of Posts will soon launch air cargo service to facilitate speedy delivery, Union Communication and Information Technology Minister Dayanidhi Maran said today.
The service would be introduced in the North Eastern states in the first phase and would later be extended to other places, he said after launching the ’One India One Rate’ scheme here on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Postal Department’s speed post service.
Mr Maran also announced that the Department had taken steps to introduce a new speed post service called ’same day, same delivery.’
Observing that the postal service in the North Eastern region was not satisfactory at present, he said the air cargo service was being planned to face the challenge.
He said new value added services and new features would be introduced in order to make the Postal department more competitive.
The Minister said post offices would fuction as departmental stores in future offering various services to customers.

Yes North East has Turboprops. Atr 42 of Alliance Air. 4 of them. They are based in Kolkata and fly to all the destinations in NE. ATR's are specially for NE only. I guess it has been 3-4 yrs now.It began when i was still there.
Cheers

It seems to be a dedicated cargo service with India Post aircraft.


IA anyway is the backbone of India Posts.

GATI was a tie-up for cargo/delivery and using the IA network and aircraft for enhanced transportation and delivery. A unique venture between a private player and a public sector player.


For P&T, it is just postal and telegraph related items. Maran should be misquoted or he has called it as air cargo. But there is no such thing as air cargo for P&T, unless someone thinks letters/mail are worthy of being called air cargo!!!

Better to say IC is the air network while GATI is the ground network
