Prince Air, a New Delhi-based start-up created by Sanket Raj Singh, has now launched. The subscription-based airline service offers monthly subscribers unlimited travel on its private jets for domestic routes in India.
Prince Air claims to cuts the cost by up to 50% of the commercial airline cost for flying business class in India and up to 95% of what charter operators charge to fly on a private jet.
Singh said: “Earlier, our plans were to Introduce Bombardier/Embraer Jets. Our monthly subscription cost was in between 1.5 Lakh INR to 2 Lakh INR where a member could fly Unlimited to-from New Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru on our private jets, but I think in a place like India, we had to think out of the box. Something which has never been done or tried in India before.”
“Keeping in mind the ticket price for economy class, business class and private jets – we came up with something which would be a game changer for the Indian aviation industry. That means cutting the cost of travelling business class in India by almost by 50%, in a business model where the same service can be enjoyed by economy class passengers as well as people who fly on a private jet in India,” he added.
“We hope to expand and connect the entire nation with Prince Air in future. Our second and third phase sectors would be Amritsar, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Lucknow, Pune, Chennai and Hyderabad. A member can fly to all sectors at the same price on our private jets, which is only US$747 monthly,” he said.
