India’s newest airline – Flybig received flying permit from DGCA in December and will be launching its inaugural flight from Indore to Ahmedabad. The inaugural flight will take off from Indore, the airline’s base, at 2.30 in the afternoon to Ahmedabad. The total flying time will be an hour and five minutes. The airline, which has been founded by Sanjay Mandavia – a pilot-turned-aviation entrepreneur – will in the initial few weeks operate thrice a week and eventually scale up its operations to five flights a week from mid-February.
From January 13, Flybig will add the Indore-Raipur route in its network. And from February 1, the airline will begin flying from Ahmedabad to Bhopal. By the end of March this year, the airline will have daily flights connecting all the three tier-2 cities. Flybig has an ATR aircraft, and is in the process of getting a second one.
