History

The airline started operations on 14 March 2007, was wholly owned by Murli Dhar Lakh Ram (MDLR) Group, and had around 250 employees by September 2008.[1] The group originated in Sirsa, Haryana in northern India. It was started by Gopal Kanda, a local politician. The airline was started in the middle of a major growth period for Indian aviation but was launched just as oil prices were climbing. It tried the full-service model promising its passengers 'pure vegetarian food', but missed lease payments to BAe for their Avro RJ70 aircraft.
