Start up airline AirAsia is considering making Bhopal its hub in central India. It has already held a first round of talks with the Madhya Pradesh government to do so, offering more flights to Bhopal, a person familiar with the talks said.
The venture, in which the Tata Group is a dominant Indian partner and holds equity, will also offer flights to Indore in the same state, from other destinations like Nagpur in Maharashtra.
AirAsia is in the process of submitting the necessary documents required for an Air Operating Permit or AOP to the to the Director General of Civil Aviation. It also awaits a clearance from the ministry of civil aviation, without which a launch is not possible. The airline is behind schedule and will not be able to stick to its previously announced launch date of November this year.
