flypop, led by (Nino) Navdip Singh Judge, which intends to become the newest and UK’s only international long-haul low-cost airline on launch in 2021, has been awarded funding from the UK Government’s Future Fund.
flypop, now completing its final funding round, will begin negotiating low cost airport deals in both the UK and India. In addition, it will continue discussions with aircraft manufacturers to secure the best deals which will enable the company to offer the lowest possible fares to the public
Judge unveiled plans for POP, People over Profit, in 2016, with plans to offer non-stop flights between the UK and two of India’s key secondary cities – Amritsar in Punjab and Ahmedabad in Gujarat. It was initially hoped for services to begin in Q4, 2016, from Stansted Airport using Airbus 300-300s.
“The funding from the UK Government’s Future Fund will play a key role in putting flypop in a position to start flights, initially between the UK and India, something which will contribute significantly to the economic growth and closer cultural links between these two Commonwealth partners and eventually with all of South Asia,” said Judge, Founder and CEO of flypop.
