Given the size of its population and its manufacturing capability it's quite surprising India isn't top of the list for number of vaccinations, however per capita wise I imagine they have vaccinated but a miniscule of their proportion of their population.

FlyPop looks like yet another in a string of virtual airlines, they even state on their website that they are looking to begin operations without their own AOC! Recent history is littered with these carriers that look to flog seats at rock bottom prices to ex-pats through ethnic (perhaps to be more PC one should say "specialist") travel agencies in cities such at Birmingham, Leicester, Bradford and London; their "wish list" of UK airports reflects that to some extent. I just feel for families who are fooled into parting with hard earned cash for a trip back home to see the relatives, in all probability blissfully unaware of the status of the "airline".

I shall be amazed if it takes off at all, let alone lasts more than a few weeks. That said, I suppose one company could make the business model work, and I could be eating my hat in 12 months time!
