“Initially, the Flybig aircraft received good response for a couple of months with over 50 flyers booking the tickets. However, they operated only one flight (ATR-72). When it developed a technical snag, it was grounded. Therefore the flyers who booked tickets were disappointed as they had to catch connecting flights from Indore and Hyderabad,”

“Bad weather can occur at any airport. The airport handles daily flights of trainees of National Flying Training Institute (NFTI). They never faced any issues. The main problem with such airlines is that they quickly lose reliability in case of flight cancellations, as they do not have additional aircraft in case of snags,”
