India's Fly91 to open Goa Mopa base
Fly91 will become the first airline to be headquartered at the greenfield Goa Mopa Airport when it starts operations, tentatively scheduled for later this year, after it secures its air operator's certificate (AOC). As previously reported, Fly91 aims to link Goa with second and third-tier airports around India, tapping into the Indian government's UDAN-RCS subsidised regional flying scheme. Founder and Kingfisher Airlines (Mumbai International) alumni Manoj Chacko said he plans to launch flights with a pair of ATR72-600s, building up to six aircraft within the first 12 months. Developed by GMR Airports Limited under a build-operate-transfer model, the INR30b rupee (US$363.5m) Goa Mopa Airport only opened in December 2022. The airport offers a user-friendly alternative to Goa Dabolim, a single runway joint military/civilian facility where military traffic enjoys priority.<br/>
