All about Al Hind: India's newest airline and the man behind it
Just when you thought the Indian skies couldn't get any more thrilling – or perhaps, more *claustrophobic* – another contender decides to taxi onto the runway. Al Hind Air, you brave new world, are you ready for the dogfight? Because launching a new airline in India isn't just about buying planes; it's about mastering the art of the aerial tightrope walk while juggling fuel prices and passenger expectations that swing wildly between 'luxury suite' and 'just get me there alive.'
The Union Civil Aviation Ministry has recently given a green light, issuing No-Objection Certificates to a trio of aspiring carriers: Al Hind Air, Shankh Air, and FlyExpress. Al Hind Air, in particular, emerges from the robust backing of a Kerala-based travel group, signaling an intent to initially operate as a regional commuter airline. This move signifies a renewed optimism and competitive spirit within India's burgeoning aviation sector, poised to add more connectivity and choices across the subcontinent.
