Our Story
Born from a Belief That Every Indian City Deserves to Fly
Air Indo Airlines is building India's next regional airline — connecting the cities that have long been left behind by Indian aviation.
Regulatory Notice: Air Indo Airlines has received its Initial NOC from the Ministry of Civil Aviation and Security Clearance from the Ministry of Home Affairs. We are currently awaiting the next-stage NOC and Air Operator Permit (AOP) from DGCA to commence commercial operations.
Vision
A Connected India
We envision an India where geography is no longer a barrier to opportunity. Where a student from Vijayawada can reach Bhopal in 90 minutes. Where a business owner in Visakhapatnam can close a deal in Pune the same morning. Where families separated by distance are reunited by affordable, reliable air travel.
Mission
Affordable. Safe. Reliable.
Our mission is to operate a safe, efficient, and affordable regional airline that serves India's Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities — cities that are growing rapidly but remain underserved by the existing aviation network. We will achieve this through disciplined operations, a modern fleet, and an unwavering commitment to safety.
The Air Indo Story
Why We Exist
India's aviation sector has grown dramatically over the past two decades. Yet this growth has been concentrated in a handful of major metros — Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad. The hundreds of cities that drive India's real economic engine — the Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities — remain poorly connected or entirely unserved.
Air Indo Airlines was founded to change this. Our founder, Srinivas Chilukuri, returned from the United States with a Master's degree in Computer Science and a conviction that India's next aviation chapter would be written not in its metros, but in its growing regional cities.
We are building Air Indo Airlines from the ground up — with the right aircraft (the ATR 72-600), the right routes (underserved regional corridors), and the right culture (safety-first, people-first, India-first).
What We Stand For
Regional Connectivity
Bridging the gap between India's growing Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities and the national aviation network.
Economic Development
Enabling commerce, tourism, and opportunity by making air travel accessible to more Indians.
Tourism Catalyst
Unlocking India's incredible regional tourism potential by connecting leisure destinations to origin cities.
Safety Culture
Building a safety-first airline from day one — not as a compliance exercise, but as a core organisational value.
Affordability
Designing our cost structure and operations to deliver fares that are accessible to the aspirational Indian traveller.
Indian Pride
A proudly Indian airline, built by Indians, for Indians — contributing to the nation's aviation infrastructure story.
The Bigger Picture
More Than an Airline
Every new air route we open is an economic lifeline for a city. It brings tourists, investors, and business travellers. It creates jobs — directly in aviation and indirectly across hospitality, logistics, and commerce. Air Indo Airlines is not just a transport company; it is an infrastructure investment in India's future.
