North East set to get its first dedicated private airline
The first private commercial airline serving the North Eastern region was given a no objection certificate (NOC) by the Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) on Wednesday. Guwahati-based JettWings Airways has been cleared to operate scheduled commuter air transport services under the government’s regional connectivity scheme UDAN and hopes to start its service by the end of this calendar.
The airline proposes to start operations with two twin-class Embraer E175 aircraft serving 16 routes, after obtaining all necessary regulatory approvals and an Air Operator Certificate (AOC) from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
