New Delhi: Jagson Airlines, which has received the scheduled regional airline status from the government, on Thursday said it planned to acquire six 50-70 seater aircraft this year and deploy a helicopter to ferry pilgrims on the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra.
"In 2008, we plan to buy six more aircraft ... 50-70 seaters. They could either be (turboprop) ATRs or Dash-8s," the airline Chairman J P Gupta told reporters here.
Asked whether these planes would be acquired outright, he said acquisition would be made through a mix of lease and purchase. The airline, which flies out of Delhi to Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and Uttarakhand, has a fleet of three Dorniers and two MI-172 helicopters.
Referring to Kailash Mansarovar Yatra, Gupta said the airline was in talks with the Uttarakhand government to launch chopper services from Pantnagar to a helipad on the Indo-China border, from where the pilgrims would enter China to visit the famed Mansarovar lake.
