Thread: UK Start Up to launch flights to India

A project to create a long-haul start-up carrier that will operate flights between the UK and India has been revived following several years' silence after securing UK government funding.
On Nov. 2, flypop said it had secured an “eight-figure sum” from the UK government’s £250 million ($324 million) Future Fund loan scheme, which aims to support UK-based companies affected by COVID-19. Under the terms, flypop had to match the loan value in private funding.
"Flypop, the UK’s only international long-haul low-cost airline, plans to launch in 2021 with scheduled flights to India. It will cater not only to the UK’s Indian/South Asian diaspora (and their visiting friends and relatives), but will also serve those keen to explore the Indian sub-continent and region with very low-priced flights,” flypop said in a statement.
