(18 Nov 2021)  Flypop has partnered with Hi Fly, one of the largest wide-body aircraft wet lease specialists in the world, to launch zero LOPA cargo operations.

Hi Fly is EASA and IOSA certified and FAA approved, with AOC’s in Portugal and Malta, and licensed to operate globally. The airline operates a large fleet of all Airbus aircraft, including A320s, A330s and A340s.

Paulo Mirpuri, Hi Fly President, said, “We are looking forward to working with the flypop team in the short-term doing cargo and in the long-term flying Indian and South Asian diaspora passengers into the secondary cities of India. Helping flypop in its journey from a start-up airline to a global player is very exciting for me personally and also to my Hi Fly team of wide-body experts.”

flypop is focused on serving the Indian and South Asian diaspora communities living in the UK and their visiting friends and relatives.

The airline has stated that it believes the most effective way to start flying operations is with cargo until the frequency cap on UK-India flights is increased.

flypop plans to commence its first passenger services between London Stansted Airport (STN) and India once the global pandemic situation becomes clearer.

Several destinations on the Indian subcontinent are currently being considered including Amritsar, Hyderabad, Goa, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Kochi and Chandigarh.

(Nino) Navdip Singh Judge, CEO & Principal of flypop, said, “This is another major milestone in the flypop journey as we have inducted the first of our four aircraft. We hope our cargo routes will assist with the global demand for cargo and help to alleviate cargo shortages for the Christmas holidays and beyond.”
