Challenges of Regional Airlines in India
Regional airlines in India, like Fly91, have historically faced significant challenges in securing funding and achieving successful operations. Founders, such as Manoj Chaco, have struggled to raise the necessary capital due to past industry failures like Kingfisher Airlines and Jet Airways.
