Union Civil Aviation Ministry Approves Shankh Air
Shankh Air needs permission from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to begin passenger flights.
The first scheduled airline to fly from Uttar Pradesh will be Shankh Air, a full-service carrier.
The airline will connect important Indian cities with its primary hubs in Lucknow and Noida.
It intends to run both intrastate and interstate routes, concentrating on destinations where there are lots of demand but few direct flight options.
In an effort to establish itself as a premier full-service airline, Shankh Air is extending an invitation to experienced pilots and ambitious professionals to join its team.
Chairman Sharvan Kumar Vishwakarma is a businessman with creative ideas for India’s aviation industry.
Shankh Air strives to provide reasonable prices, dependable service, and comfortable travel for its customers.
Airline To Acquire Fleet of Boeing 737-800NG
The airline is in advanced negotiations with international lessors to acquire a fleet of narrow-body Boeing 737-800NG aircraft for its start-of-operations operations.
The strategy of Shankh Air was discussed during a June meeting between Union Civil Aviation Minister Kinjarapu Rammohan Naidu and chairman Sharvan Kumar Vishwakarma.
The management and co-founders of Shankh Air met with officials from Noida International Airport earlier in March to discuss a possible collaboration bolstering Uttar Pradesh’s air connectivity program.
Shankh Air must abide by Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) norms and regulations regarding foreign direct investment (FDI) in order to receive the ministry’s clearance.
Although Shankh Air has been given initial authorization, it still needs to get DGCA operational approval before it can start operating flights.
