New Delhi: Air Pegasus, a regional carrier based out of Bengaluru, became the ninth carrier in the country after receiving a flying permit from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation on Tuesday.
Air Pegasus also becomes the third new airline to take to Indian skies in the past one year. While AirAsia India, Tata Sons' low-cost venture with AirAsia Berhad, started services in June 2014, Vistara, Tata Sons' joint venture company with Singapore Airlines, launched operations in January this year.
"We have received an Air Operators Permit from the DGCA, and plan to launch our ticketing system soon and launch operations in two weeks. We already have two ATR-72 aircraft in our fleet that is sufficient to operate the three sectors we plan to start flights with," Shyson Thomas, managing direc tor of Air Pegasus, told ET.
The three sectors that the airline plans to launch flights with its base in Bengaluru are Trivandrum, Hubli and Cochin.
