flypop has signed a multiple aircraft A330-300 lease deal with aircraft lessor Avolon.
Navdip Singh Judge, CEO & Principal of flypop, commented: “As a twin-engine, double-aisle, wide-body that can carry over 400 passengers, the A330-300 aircraft will deliver everything we want to offer our flypop passengers, especially the lowest seat prices to India. With this lease deal we have been able to submit our AOC license application to the U.K. Civil Aviation Authority and expect our first flights to commence by October. And many thanks to the U.K. Government’s Future Fund for its financial assistance, which has enabled us to raise further funding. Increased flight connectivity, especially on new routes, will create much needed economic benefits for both the U.K. and India.”
Throughout the pandemic, flypop has been busy preparing for launch later this year, when international travel resumes to India. In the last few months the team has grown significantly, including a number of new hires who all bring to flypop a diverse wealth of aviation experience and knowledge from many different fields. These include Charlie Clifton, ex director of Ryanair, who has joined flypop as Senior Operations Adviser and Board Member.
flypop is a new low-cost British international airline providing the most affordable non-stop flights between the U.K. and the second cities of South Asia, starting with India.
