FLY91 commences three new routes, namely, Solapur–Hyderabad, Hubballi–Hyderabad and Hubballi–Bengaluru.
Pure play regional airline FLY91 marked yet another significant milestone in its growth journey with its inaugural operations to Hubballi on Friday (April 17), where the airline was accorded a customary ceremonial water cannon salute on arrival. The airline flagged off three routes on the same day, further strengthening its footprint across key regional corridors.
FLY91 commenced operations on three new routes, Solapur–Hyderabad, Hubballi–Hyderabad and Hubballi–Bengaluru, even as the airline stays committed to Solapur increasing the frequency of its Goa–Solapur service, responding to growing passenger demand for reliable and convenient travel options in the sector.
Hubballi, a prominent trade, education and industrial hub in North Karnataka, plays a critical role in driving regional economic activity. Improved air connectivity to cities such as Hyderabad and Bengaluru is expected to further support business travel, educational access and industrial linkages, while offering passengers a safe, reliable and convenient alternative to surface transport.
Commenting on the expansion, Manoj Chacko, Managing Director and CEO, FLY91, highlighted that the addition of Hubballi reinforces the airline’s focus on strengthening regional connectivity. “The addition of Hubballi to our network reflects our continued commitment to building reliable, trustworthy and convenient regional air connectivity through our vision of ‘Connecting Bharat’. Hubballi is our regional airline’s 12th domestic destination after just two years of starting operations. Connecting as many as two dozen tier 2 and tier 3 destinations in central and southern India within that relatively short timespan is testimony to FLY91’s pursuit of measured growth and commitment to connecting underserved destinations in the country.”
Further, addressing seasonal demand, he added, “Due to the peak demand during the summer holidays, we are introducing additional flights on the Agatti–Kochi route twice a week from April 16 to May 20, 2026. This has been a successful route for us, and the increased frequency will help us better serve rising passenger demand.”
Bookings for the new sectors are now open across all channels, including the airline’s website and travel partners.
In an industry-first move in Indian domestic aviation, pure play regional airline FLY91 has also introduced a disruptive, pre-booked baggage fare structure that allows passengers to select from fixed baggage slabs at the time of booking. This initiative is part of FLY91’s broader bouquet of innovations focused on building a digitally lean, customer-first airline. With the new product offering Smartbag91, FLY91 continues to innovate, bringing greater transparency, predictability and flexibility to the passengers’ journey.
With these additions, FLY91 has expanded its network to 12 destinations – Goa (Manohar International Airport, Mopa), Pune, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Solapur, Jalgaon, Sindhudurg, Kochi, Agatti, Hubballi, Vijayawada and Rajahmundry.
