Jagson Airlines is an airline based in Delhi, India. It operates scheduled and charter services within India and to Bhutan and Nepal.[1]
History
The airline was established and started operations in November 1995. It began charter operations with two 18-seat Dornier 228-201 aircraft and later operated regular services from Delhi. It is wholly owned by Jagson International.[1] In 2006 they announced plans to expand their services to 9 cities, using leased Airbus A321-200 aircraft.
Jagson have withdrawn plans to launch a nationwide scheduled low-cost airline by mid-2006 and plan to continue as a regional airline.[2]
Jagson has recently taken deliveries of RJ 80s / BAe 146-200s Avro Regional Jets. They will be starting operations to all their previous routes shortly. Efforts were on to merge the erstwhile MDLR, which operated the same type of aircraft, and form a 5 aircraft airline.
