Hi Mate
As of now Capt Gopi has launched Deccan shuttle in Gujarat connecting 5 cities within the state. Religare has started operations in the Name Air Mantra between Punjab, Himachal and Jammu.
Karina Airlines is planning to launch operations with its Beechcraft by early 2013 in North east. Capt Roger Nair, the owner of Chalk International Airways(Formerely known as Chalk Ocean Airways, Hope All remember the FL101 Crash in 2005 killing all 19 on Board) told that he will start operations in Kerala under the Name Naki Air (He has a Charter company in Hollywood with this name) for the Propsed Sea Plane services. It will be one of the greatest services for the Rich and Royal Tourists to Fly directly to the resorts from Kochi or Trivandrum Airports using the Grummin Albatross (They have some Malads also I believe).Air Kerala is another one which targets only the Middle eastern routes which are the only money farms for Air India. If the Central cabinet gives a Go Ahead on this, the road for Air India will get more Difficult in coming days. Kerala government who has established the Country's first PPP model Airport( kochi)has achieved success in it and is very keen in this Project. with the commissioning of KIAL (Kannur International Airport) the 4th International Airport in kerala the project is on its way for take off.
Air Odisha is another venture from the Orissa Government where they plans to launch its operations in 2013.
Claims are there from Volk Airways (who has done recruitements before applying for the Noc), Air Pegasus (shyson Thomas, the Md has done his 7th Press conference in 3 years for the launch), Rahi Air from Karnataka, Emric Air from kerala who's Noc was expired few years before, Freedom Aviation who has deep pockets but hesitant to enter( They have already declared about dropping the Project as of now) etc. God knows whether they all will come up or Not.
Regards
