Mumbai, Jan 20: Regional airline FLY91 announced the launch of daily non-stop flights between Kochi and Agatti in the Lakshadweep islands. The announcement comes as the regional airline prepares to add seven new stations over the next 90 days as part of a phased network expansion.
Expansion in southern India and Lakshadweep connectivity
With the introduction of Kochi services, Goa-based FLY91 has announced plans to expand its presence in southern India and also increase connectivity to the Lakshadweep islands.
The airline currently operates flights between Agatti and Goa’s Manohar International Airport (MIA). As residents of Agatti rely on limited transport options for education, healthcare and commerce, FLY91 also expects to attract passengers for onward travel options.
Network to grow to 15 stations
Taking a significant leap in strengthening regional air connectivity, FLY91 has announced expansion to Kochi, Rajahmundry, Vijayawada, Hubballi, Dabolim, Nanded and Indore, taking its network to 15 stations.
The airline expects to operate from all the stations with a fleet of six ATR 72-600 aircraft, as three are scheduled for induction within the next 45 days.
Phased rollout of new routes
According to the airline, the expansion will begin in early February with the commencement of daily Kochi–Agatti services. This will be followed by thrice-daily flights between Rajahmundry–Hyderabad and Vijayawada–Hyderabad, along with daily services on the Hubballi–Hyderabad and Hubballi–Bengaluru routes.
Subsequent phases will include flights from Nanded to South Goa and Bengaluru, while Indore will be connected to Jalgaon and Hyderabad in the second phase of expansion.

Aspirational tier-two and tier-three destinations will drive India’s next phase of growth, and improved regional connectivity is key to unlocking that potential.”
