\u00a0India\u2019s aviation industry is poised for significant transformation in this financial year as there are three new airlines which are preparing to launch its operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Launch Of Three New Airlines In India <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After this launch, it will end Akasa Air\u2019s status as the country\u2019s youngest airline as it was launched in December 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Till the time that happens, let’s go through the other important details about these new airlines which are poised to impact the Indian aviation industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far our country has 12 functioning passenger airlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, the market remains heavily concentrated, with just two carriers serving over 90 per cent of passengers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is expected that the arrival of Air Kerala, Shankh Air and Alhind Air will disrupt this imbalance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to these three airlines<\/a>, interestingly, all of them were founded in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have secured no objection certificates from the Ministry of Civil Aviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now they are waiting for their air operator certificates from the Director General of Civil Aviation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shankh Air For Uttar Pradesh<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out of these, Shankh Air will become the first scheduled full-service airline for Uttar Pradesh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline will start its operations from the upcoming Noida Jewar International Airport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This airline comes with an initial funding of $50 million and a pledge of $200 million from its parent company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further  planning to lease its first narrow-body aircraft by March-end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially, it will be connecting major cities within UP and key metro destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline further plans its international expansion for 2027. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two New Airlines For Kerala<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon two new airlines will be launched in Kerala –  Air Kerala and Alhind Air. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out of these, Air Kerala is set to become India\u2019s first ultra-low-cost carrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air Kerala\u2019s main focus is on connecting Kerala\u2019s smaller cities with major hubs before expanding internationally in 2026. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea of this airline was originally conceived by the state government in 2005.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, the airline is being launched by UAE-based entrepreneurs operating under Zettfly Aviation Pvt. Ltd. with a fleet of three ATR 72-600 aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similar to this, the Calicut-based Alhind Group will be launching Alhind Air as a regional commuter airline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will be operating from Cochin International Airport with ATR 72-600 aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 This airline also has plans to expand to international destinations, particularly Gulf countries, within two years of launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The introduction of these airlines will definitely help in enhancing the connectivity with improved service quality and competitive pricing across the Indian aviation sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far the precise launch dates remain pending regulatory approval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
