Fly91 – India’s newest airline – has taken flight. The regional airline flies into a dynamic, fast growing, cut throat, semi-oligopolistic market which has been the burial ground for more companies than it has nurtured. Almost no regional airline has survived here. But Manoj Chacko’s airline is backed by his crystal clear vision, a simple expansion plan, a brilliant main team and a solid initial financial thrust. Can Fly91 break the mould of regional carriers in India? Host Anirban Chowdhury talks to Chacko about his journey from setting up Emirates operations in India to setting up his own airline. And the flight path for Fly9.
