Jettwings Airways gets NOC for operations in Northeast

Jettwings Airways, the newest entrant in the aviation sector, announced that it has received the no objection certificate (NOC) to operate Scheduled Commuter Air Transport Services in the country and is aiming to start flying from October.

The airline, with its base in Guwahati, plans to offer regional connectivity to passengers under the government's UDAN scheme to a number of destinations in the Northeast and eastern regions initially.

Once approved for flight operations, Jettwings will be the first-ever company from the Northeast region to start airline operations in the country.

After obtaining all necessary regulatory approvals and an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), Jettwings Airways plans to introduce a fleet of modern aircraft, including turbofan and turbo-propelled ones, to offer premium economy services for regional travel.

Jettwings Airways has been established with a vision to revolutionize regional connectivity by delivering superior service, comfort and convenience to passengers.

The government's commitment and efforts to improve air connectivity through Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS) by connecting regional airports has significantly improved trade for particular regions while fostering economic growth and has given huge fillip to the development of the tourism sector.

"We believe that under the UDAN scheme, we have a unique opportunity to make significant impact on the Northeast region by improving connectivity and creating new economic opportunities," Sanjive Narain, Chairman, Jettwings Airways, said at a press conference here.
