New airline MDLR will be launched in October in Indian domestic sector.

A new full service start-up airline, promoted by a real estate entrepreneur, will begin operations in the north and a few hill towns in the region by October. MDLR Airlines, which plans to acquire five RJ-70 aircraft from British Aerospace and an equal number of Mi-172 helicopters, will launch flights from Delhi to Kullu, Dharamsala and Dehra Dun.

It will not be a low-cost carrier but will cater for both business and economy segments, Gopal Kumar Goyal, Chairman, Murli Dhar Lakh Ram group, told reporters.

It will be interesting to see if they actually get off the ground!

MDLR Airlines are currently recruiting staff, but they have no web site...

Other airlines in India that have been reported in the press as planning to start their operations during 2006 are:

Air India Express
Air One
IndiGo
Magic Air

but what has happened to them?  Have they simply disappeared?

Keep up John, Indigo have already started.  Indian Air Express must be about to as I saw advertising hoardings tonight outside Cochin Airport!

Smoked for 25 years but now not smoked since 13th Jan. Am I now a non smoker, a smoker who doesn't smoke or an ex smoker? Do I have to even have a title, can I not just be a 'me'? Has not smoking made me crazy?, probably!
