US-based Captain Rajan Nair,CEO of N-Air International, who is
planning to start a budget airline linking Fujairah with Indian and US
destinations.
As discussions on the Air Kerala project is getting delayed due to lack of
investor’s interest, a new budget airline is planned from Fujairah to various
Indian cities by a US-based aviation company that currently operates chartered
and cargo flights from the USA to various destinations, especially the
Caribbean.
Captain Rajan Nair, Chief Executive Officer of N-Air International, said his company is planning to launch a budget carrier from Fujairah in the UAE, with an initial plan to have flights five days a week to South Indian destinations, especially Kochi.
US based Captain Nair, who hails from an Indian expatriate family in Abu Dhabi, said the proposed budget carrier will start with an Airbus A 320 aircraft and will gradually expand to add more flights and destinations.
As Emirates 24|7 reported earlier, the fate of the Air Kerala project, the proposed airline partly owned by the Kerala government is in doubt, as big investors from the Middle East have allegedly backtracked after India’s central government in New Delhi refused to permit it to fly abroad before completing certain period of domestic operations.
An earlier proposal to start a budget carrier from the Middle East was allegedly torpedoed by influential NRIs. Captain Nair is starting afresh to launch the first budget carrier from Fujairah. While Air Kerala wants 20 aircraft to start operations, N-Air is confident of launching the service with just one or two aircraft.
