Fly Hornbill was a planned Indian Regional airline to be based in Guwahati.[2] The airline was founded in 2016 and planned to start operations in early 2017 to provide air connectivity to North-Eastern destinations in India in place of Air India's subsidiary Alliance Air.[3] However, as of September 2017 operations are yet to begin and any aircraft is yet to be acquired.[4] The airline was seeking approvals from India's aviation regulator DGCA to start operations.[5] The airline has also won the rights to operate flights on many Northeastern routes under the UDAN-RCS scheme.[6] The airline however did not start operations and appears to have shutdown.[citation needed]
