 RECOMMENDATIONS
 

Main focus on the international services so it

must pay attention in the domestic services.
Blue dart must make good connection with the
national airports.
At national level transportation of goods is
done via road that makes delay in the service &
also the national airport services are limited
making it very expensive.
So, spreading to the every airport will result
into quick & reasonable service.
