The regional airline had to halt operations as its aircraft are undergoing maintenance in Kolkata and Hyderabad
The airline now plans to acquire 10 new DHC-6 Twin Otter Classic 300-G aircraft, which will be delivered to FlyBig starting July 2024. These planes can touchdown on both water and land.
The fall in passenger traffic along with rampant cancellations by airlines highlights the vulnerability of the routes which loss-making airlines are unable to support.
The promoter of India’s newest airline says FlyBig will be cheaper than a taxi, as passengers will pay for a one-way journey unlike the up-and-down fare charged by taxis
The DGCA has not uploaded the schedule of TruJet, as the airline has once again suspended operations. The schedule also puts the spotlight on all airports where only a single airline operates. Suspension of that airline or a commercial decision to discontinue the route would mean that airport getting disconnected from the air map of the country.
All the bookings of Flybig by any other online travel portals will also go through and be processed by EaseMyTrip, the company said in a statement.
The pact will allow the passengers to book their travel tickets to any NE flybig destination through the IRCTC portal, which will help in boosting tourism in the region, he said.
