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 planning to launch low-cost long-haul passenger flights between London Stansted Airport (STN/EGSS) to India including the cities of including Amritsar, Hyderabad, Goa, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Kochi and Chandigarh.
