Kozhikode-based Alhind Group, which has received initial approval from the Civil Aviation Ministry to start an airline, plans to make Kochi the hub and is eyeing services in regional connectivity routes such as Kochi-Bengaluru, Kochi-Mysuru and Kochi-Thiruvananthapuram-Chennai.
Alhind Air also plans to expand operations to international destinations at a later stage. “We’re looking at an initial investment of Rs 200 to 500 cr to procure three ATR-72 aircraft by the time of receiving the final nod -- Air Operator Certificate (AOC)--from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). We’ve also prepared a long-term business plan to procure large aircraft such as Airbus-320 for international operations once we prove our mettle with the domestic services,” the company official pointed out. A new airline will have to procure at least 20 aircraft to start international operations
