Jettwings Airways on Wednesday (June 14) announced that it has received the 'No Objection Certificate (NOC)' to operate as 'Scheduled Commuter Air Transport Services' in Northeastern region.
Once fully approved for flight operations, Jettwings Airways will be the first company from the Northeast India region to operate airline operations.
The airline will offer regional connectivity to passengers, leveraging the Centre's UDAN scheme to a number of destinations in the northeast and eastern region initially.
Post all regulatory approvals and AOC (Air Operator Certificate) from the civil aviation regulator DGCA, the airline, with its base in Guwahati, plans to introduce a fleet of modern flight deck turbofan aircraft in addition to turbo-propelled ones for regional connectivity.
The Jettwings Airways fleet will initially have four 80-seater aircraft, and they are set to start operations in October this year. The airline has already started hiring human resources in various departments.
As per reports, depending on the airline's success after its formal launch, it will plan to expand its operations beyond northeast India and neighbouring countries.
Sanjive Narain, Chairman of Jettwings Airways said, "We believe that under the UDAN scheme, we have a unique opportunity to significantly impact the Northeast region by improving connectivity and creating new economic opportunities."
Sanjay Aditya Singh, Co-Founder, and CEO, Jettwings Airlines said, "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."
