On Tuesday, a new airline called FLY91 was introduced in India. Supported by aviation veteran Manoj Chacko, the regional airline was virtuallly launched by civil aviation minister Jyotiraditya Scindia.
The airline’s executives announced that following its initial flight on Tuesday from Mopa in Goa to Agatti in Lakshadweep, it will start offering commercial services on March 18. The flights will connect Goa to Bengaluru and Hyderabad.
After the virtual inauguration, Scindia said, “Earlier in our country, airlines’ closure and bankruptcy used to be the news. In the past 10 years, the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi brought a new dawn to this industry which resulted in the birth of six new regional airlines.”
Scindia also emphasized the nation’s civil aviation industry’s multifaceted expansion. In addition to restating government’s commitment to establishing connections between tier 2 and tier 3 cities under the Udey Desh ka Aam Naagarik (UDAN) project, he stated that the aviation sector anticipates increasing its domestic traffic from 6 crores in 2014 to 30 crores by 2030.
