Guwahati: Jettwings Airways has announced that it has received the NOC to operate Scheduled Commuter Air Transport Services.
The airline plans to offer regional connectivity to passengers under the UDAN scheme to several destinations in the North East and eastern region initially.
Post all regulatory approvals and AOC from the DGCA, the airline, with its base in Guwahati, plans to introduce a fleet of modern flight deck turbo fan aircraft in addition to turbo-propelled ones for regional connectivity with premium economy services to its passengers.
"We have earmarked a Rs 100-crore investment in the airline," said Sanjeev Narain.
Sanjay Aditya Singh, Co-Founder and CEO, of Jettwings Airlines, said, “We are thankful to the Ministry of Civil Aviation for providing us with the Initial NOC and we will be working closely with DGCA to complete our readiness and formalities for Schedule Commuter Airlines operations. Once we are granted the AOC, we strongly believe and commit to becoming a reliable and sustainable airline with its roots deeply entrenched in North East India, connecting unique yet important destinations. An airline born in the North East with the sense of doing business in India was much needed and Jettwings Airways shall strive to achieve the same in the next few months of our preparations as we near take off."
The airline also plans to offer a loyalty program to reward frequent flyers.
By providing premium economy services, Jettwings Airways intends to add options for travellers looking to travel to or from the North East. The Jettwings Airways fleet will have state-of-the-art aircraft with dual class configuration (Business Class and Premium Economy Options).
Once approved for flight operations, Jettwings Airways will be the first ever company from the North East region to operate airline operations in the country.
