Fly91 plans to expand its fleet to more than 60 aircraft and connect around 50 cities over the next five to six years as it seeks to tap growing demand for regional air travel across India, according to Manoj Chacko, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Fly91.
Chacko said the airline, which currently operates six aircraft connecting 12 cities with 280 weekly flights, is focused on linking underserved destinations rather than competing on major trunk routes.
He added that Fly91 aims to build connectivity across smaller cities such as Jalgaon, Sholapur, Sindhudurg, Agatti and Kullu.
The growth plans come as regional aviation stakeholders see significant room for expansion in India. Alexis Vidal, Chief Commercial Officer of ATR, said the aircraft manufacturer forecasts demand for more than 200 additional regional aircraft in the country.
Vidal added that India remains one of the fastest-growing markets for regional aviation.
Both executives highlighted the role of government measures in helping airlines manage the impact of rising aviation turbine fuel (ATF) prices amid geopolitical tensions in West Asia.
