History
The airline received a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Ministry of Civil Aviation and received its Air Operator's Certificate (AoC) on 14 December 2020, both necessary for starting commercial operations. It began operations with a single ATR-72-500. The company's focus is to serve Tier-2 cities and it aims to build a fleet of more ATR-72s and Viking/ DHC Twin Otters, thus eventually expand to a fleet of 20 aircraft.
Before the airline began any scheduled flights, it got its first route under a government tender to serve Shillong from Delhi. The flights commenced on 21 December 2020 and to fulfil its obligations, the airline wet-leased a DHC-8 Q400 aircraft from SpiceJet. The airline conducted proving flights on 4 December 2020, and operated its first scheduled flight on 3 January 2021 from Indore to Ahmedabad. As of September 2023, it has 20 destinations with a fleet of four aircraft covering 7 states.
