Bengaluru: Two new regional airlines are to start commercial operations from Bengaluru in the upcoming summer season, subject to permits from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), according to data made available by Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru (KIAB).
FLYeasy and Air Pegasus, both headquartered in the city, have applied for flight slots with the KIAB for the upcoming summer scheduled that begins from March 29. While Air Pegasus will operate a fleet of ATR-72 twin-engined turboprop aircraft, FLYeasy is looking to operate a fleet of Embraer E-Jets.
With AirAsia India having launched operations last June, Bengaluru will now be home to three startup airlines after having seen a flurry of aviation activity with erstwhile Air Deccan and Kingfisher Airlines in early years of the last decade.
A spokesperson from KIAB told TOI, "Operations of Air Pegasus and Fly Easy are subject to them receiving an Airport Operating Permit (AOP) and DGCA clearance, so destinations cannot be confirmed."
