FLY91, the latest entrant to India’s aviation sector, is set to launch direct flights connecting Mumbai and Goa to Solapur, marking a significant step in regional connectivity. This announcement, made just months after the airline’s March 2024 debut, reflects its alignment with the government’s UDAN scheme, aimed at enhancing access to underserved regions.
Solapur, a city celebrated for its vibrant textile industry and religious tourism, is poised to benefit immensely from these direct air connections. The new services are expected to boost economic activity, facilitate business travel, and enhance convenience for leisure travellers. Operating from its hub at Manohar International Airport in Goa, FLY91 has already established a robust network covering cities like Pune, Jalgaon, Sindhudurg, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Agatti in Lakshadweep. The addition of Solapur further solidifies its commitment to fostering regional connectivity.
Speaking about the launch, Manoj Chacko, CEO of FLY91, expressed pride in the airline’s unique offering. “We are honoured to be the only carrier providing direct flights between Solapur and key destinations like Mumbai and Goa. This initiative is a testament to our commitment to making travel more accessible, fostering economic growth, and serving the needs of our passengers.” The introduction of these direct flights is expected to significantly reduce travel time, offering a reliable and efficient travel option for both residents and visitors. By bridging these key locations, FLY91 not only enhances convenience but also strengthens its position as a pivotal player in regional aviation. With its strategic expansion, FLY91 continues to champion the government’s vision of improved connectivity while promoting economic integration and development across India’s diverse regions.
