Marking its entrance into India’s aviation sector, Sirius India Airlines has joined hands with Dubai-based Transworld Group to introduce luxury private air travel charter services.

Notably, the carrier’s promoter-director Arun Kashyap previously served as a Chief Operating Officer (COO) of low-cost airline SpiceJet.

“We are thrilled to introduce Airavat to the Indian market,” Chairman of Transworld Group Ramesh S Ramakrishnan said.

As per the official statement, Sirius India Airlines aims to expand its fleet by adding nearly a dozen top-of-the-line 9-seater to 100-seater charter aircraft by the end of this financial year.

Sirius India Airlines, in collaboration with Airavat Aviation, will commence operations using a Hawker 4000 aircraft. The partnership aims to expand the fleet size to three aircraft in the coming months, marking a significant milestone in the company’s growth trajectory, the statement added.

Meanwhile, the joint venture is strategically positioned to offer a comprehensive solution in the charter business and fractional ownership segment, both domestically and globally.
