Excellent TR. I find interesting that the E-170s are two class while th E-190 is all Y despite being the larger aircraft. That load factor is quite poor BTW, I hope it is a one off and that they continue to have higher load factors in general as you indicated.

Do you recall the price for the sandwiches/snacks? How does this compare with other carriers such as 6E/SG?

I am looking forward to your I5 TR.

Great TR ! with some interesting pictures.

Surprised to see AI step ladder at BLR ! Looks like LB chose AI over the usual GHA.

I am surprised at the seating config - Dual class for 170s and single for 190s

Hope they get their stuff in order in terms of config / operations / service and stabilize

Air Costa and even more the E-Jets are on top of my list of aircraft to fly on !

Great TR and thanks for posting. A very interesting read about a regional airlines aspirations I hope they get their formula right and succeed.

I understand that the pilot was an expat, I am guessing not many Indian pilots have experience in flying this type of aircraft yet.

Nice short and crisp TR this one.

I love the tarmac shots of the bird from MAA...I wonder what that curvy thing is though at the exhaust of the engine!

Looking forward to the I5 TR, especially after the selfie you took! Wink

Lovely TR on an exotic airline, in typical Balagopal style.
Your pictures have come out very well as well, especially the tarmac ones from HYD. It is a pity that the windows were not clean, else we would have seen some great window shots as well. The shade of bluish green on the cabin crew uniforms is quite interesting.
Cheers, Sumantra.

How did I miss this Question

Apologies for the delayed reply.

Great TR! I loved the pics of the BLR terminal. The Indian flag is a great addition (they only did that last year?)
I like the E170 as well, good looking aircraft and nice size.
