India’s aviation sector is set for expansion as Shankh Air, a new Uttar Pradesh-based airline, received approval from the Central government on September 24, 2024. The airline is preparing to launch services across major domestic routes, marking a significant development in India’s rapidly growing aviation industry.
Shankh Air aims to offer affordable flights connecting Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities, providing greater accessibility to air travel for people in smaller towns. With a focus on modern aircraft and budget-friendly pricing, the airline hopes to tap into the booming demand for regional air connectivity.
Analysts believe the entry of Shankh Air will further stimulate competition among low-cost carriers, benefiting consumers with more choices and competitive fares. The Indian aviation sector has seen rapid growth post-pandemic, and Shankh Air’s launch is another step towards making air travel more accessible and affordable for all.
