The soon-to-be-launched airline intends to provide regional connectivity to customers by utilising the UDAN programme of the Centre to a number of initial locations in the northeast and eastern area. Air connectivity between the hilly towns of northeast India will significantly reduce journey time.
The chairman of Jettwings Airways, Sanjive Narain, stated, “We think that under the UDAN scheme, we have a unique opportunity to significantly impact the Northeast region by improving connectivity and creating new economic opportunities.”

After receiving all necessary regulatory clearances and an AOC (Air Operator Certificate) from the DGCA, the airline, which has its base in Guwahati, wants to introduce a fleet of contemporary flight deck turbofan aircraft in addition to turbo-propelled ones for regional connectivity.
According to JettWings Airways, it would lease these aircraft from businesses that the Indian government has recommended. It stated that it has set aside Rs 100 crore for the project’s initial investment.
Jettwings Airways anticipates beginning operations in October with a fleet of four 80-seater aircraft. The airline has already started recruiting staff in a number of departments.
