Mumbai: Sanjive Narain, owner of Assam's oldest news channel, and Sanjay Aditya Singh, promoter of a cabin crew training academy, are coming together to launch a regional airline providing business and premium economy services in the Northeast.
Jettwings Airways will be based in Guwahati and will connect places with twin-class Embraer E175 aircraft. The airline has secured an initial no-objection clearance from the civil aviation ministry and plans to launch services in October.
Once approved for flight operations, Jettwings will be the first-ever company from the Northeast region to start airline operations in the country.
“We have earmarked a Rs 100-crore investment in the airline. We plan to start with two planes in October and will have four planes in the initial phase. We will have comfortable seats, better legroom, and offer dynamic fares,” said Narain on Wednesday.
Narain owns Prag News channel and has business interests in construction, health, automobile, and mobile phones. Singh, his partner and the new airline’s chief executive officer, runs an academy offering aviation, hospitality and tourism management courses.
