Paramount to add 500 flights per month by fiscal-end

Mumbai: With a revival in domestic air traffic numbers, Paramount Airways, the all-business class airline, has added around 200 flights to its network in the past two months. It has set a target of 2,500 flights per month by the end of the current fiscal from the current level of 2,000. The proposed capacity addition would take place through adding more aircraft to its fleet and increasing the number of seats.
Paramount Airways’ managing director M Thyagrajan told ET: “We will connect more metros to smaller cities over the next two months.” Starting February, the airline will take a dozen turboprops planes on lease, which will have capacity of around 75 seats each. This will be to cater to smaller cities across the country.
These turboprop planes will fly to destinations in Jharkhand and Meghalaya, apart from Cooch Behar in West Bengal. Destinations in the south like Pondicherry, Mysore, Salem, Bellary will also be catered to.
