flybig is an Indian regional airline based in Gurugram, Haryana.[2] It is promoted by Gurugram-based Big Charter Private Limited. The airline began operations in December 2020 and is focused on connecting tier-2 cities within India.[3] The airline is currently operating in north and northwest India.[4][5][6]

History

The airline received a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Ministry of Civil Aviation and received its Air Operator's Certificate (AoC) on 14 December 2020, both necessary for starting commercial operations. It began operations with a single ATR-72-500.[7] The company's focus is to serve Tier-2 cities and it aims to build a fleet of more ATR-72s and Viking/ DHC Twin Otters, thus eventually expand to a fleet of 20 aircraft.[8]

Before the airline began scheduled flights, it got its first route under a government tender to serve Shillong from Delhi. The flights commenced on 21 December 2020 and to fulfil its obligations, the airline wet-leased a DHC-8 Q400 aircraft from SpiceJet.[9] The airline conducted proving flights on 4 December 2020,[10] and operated its first scheduled flight on 3 January 2021 from Indore to Ahmedabad.[11] As of March 2024, it has 11 destinations with a fleet of three aircraft covering 3 states.

In November 2023, FlyBig Airlines temporarily ceased operations in Arunachal Pradesh, citing supply chain challenges as the primary reason.[12]

Destinations

As of December 2024, FlyBig operates between the following destinations:
