Air Pegasus seeks DGCA nod for importing two ATR planes

New Delhi: Regional carrier Air Pegasus has sought aviation regulator DGCA's approval to import two ATR planes, which it intends to induct in the fleet by the end of the current financial year.

The airline will also submit its network expansion plans to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) once the permission for leasing of the two planes is in place, Air Pegasus Managing Director Shyson Thomas told PTI.

The Bengaluru-based regional airline had commenced operations in April last year. Air Pegasus currently has two 66-seater aircraft by French-Italian manufacturer ATR in its fleet.

"We already have two 66-seater ATR planes in the fleet. We have recently filed an application to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation requesting it to allow us leasing of two more ATRs," Thomas said.
