The company is also planning to launch the scheduled business jet flights between Bangalore and Mumbai and the helicopter services from the Juhu airport to the industrial towns like Tarapur and Vapi. The flights on the Mumbai Bangalore routes will also be operated by the aircraft between 6 and 14 seats depending upon the bookings.

These will essentially be flights with luxuries of a business Jet flight but with a schedule. So, a passenger will not have to be at the airport two hours before the flight and will be saving time in Bengaluru too because our flight will be landing at the old airport in Bengaluru that is within the city,” Kanika Tekriwal, the founder of SkyShuttle said.

The SkyShuttle is completely owned by the JetSetGo which is founded by the Tekriwal and the investor for it is the famous cricket player Yuvraj Singh.

The fliers on the Mumbai-Bangalore sector will soon be able to reach the airport within 15 minutes before the departure time of the flight and then land at the old airport in Bangalore if at all they are ready to provide some extra space.

The company also has plans of launching the helicopter services from the Juhu airport in Mumbai to the industrial town like Tarapur and Vapi.

The fare to Bangalore would cost in the range of Rs. 16,000 and 38,000 per passenger, the helicopter flights will cost nearly up to 35,000 per person. Analysts say that there is market for flights in this segment but the pricing has to be right. “The pricing will be key on these flights to attract business class passengers of a commercial airliner. A business class passenger would easily give up to 50% more than the business class fares for the incentives that these flights offer. Actors or cricketers or businessmen can be probable on these flights and I expect top 20% of the total business class passengers to be their probable passengers,” said the COO, B2C at Yatra.com which is the second largest online travel portal of India, Sharat Dhall.
