Star Air Updates- aircraft has arrived, launch in few days?:
I had originally written about Sanjay Ghodawat group's star air in March 2018. Couple of months since then, some more details have emerged.
3 Branding- There’s already an airline named Star Air based in
Denmark, owned by Maersk Group. Ghodawat group needs to ensure that they don’t
violate international trademarks, particularly if they ever plan to fly
international in long run. Selecting an existing name and fighting legal battle
may not be worth it. Check this and this
1. The aircraft has arrived
The official twitter handle has tweeted a short video of
StarAir’s aircraft. It is a ERJ-145 or Embraer jet which can seat roughly 50
people in a 2+1 configuration. This is smaller than Embraer E 170 used by Air
Costa
Our planes have arrived! It is just a matter of days now, before we begin our flight services. #StarAir #SanjayGhodawatGroup #Airlines #LaunchingSoon pic.twitter.com/i9YUwfcg4v— Star Air (@OfficialStarAir) July 4, 2018
2 Airline Code SA is used by South African Airlines
Star Air website suggests they will have an airline code SA
(Refer screen shot below)- but SA is already taken- by South African Airways.
So we need to see what code Star Air gets
4 Updated website:
The official website, starair.in is updated a bit- it shows origins and destinations,
some sections for various operations related to your flight- like status check,
manage booking etc. Of course website is not fully functional as the airline
hasn’t begun operations.
Few more days to launch?
Star Air’s social media accounts claim airline is just a few
days away from launch. We hope so and look forward to the new airline.
