New Delhi: Vijaywada-based regional airline Air Costa has upgraded its regional airline license to that of a national scheduled airline, a move that will allow it to fly across India and abroad.
“Receiving a pan-India permit is another milestone for all of us at Air Costa. This validates the hard wok and efforts put in by each one of our 800 strong team members over the past years," Vivek Choudhary, chief executive officer of Air Costa, said late on Monday evening.
At present, the three-year-old airline with a three-plane fleet covers eight cities—Vijayawada, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Tirupathi and Vizag.
It plans to add cities like Lucknow, Bhubaneswar, Chandigarh and Indore to its network.
“With this permit we can now replicate our philosophy of connecting the smaller towns and cities to the metros across India. We have plans to connect Delhi and Mumbai to smaller towns and cities across India. Our immediate focus now moves to adding aircraft and expanding our operations," Choudhary added.
The airline needs 20 planes to fly international.
