The Indian aviation industry may get another new carrier, perhaps before the year's end, with Air Taxi getting the Scheduled Commuter Airlines Permit from the controller DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation).

The RCS, or the Regional Connectivity Scheme of the Government Authority, known as UDAN, provides airlines with an opportunity to begin services in urban Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. The subsidy the government authority offers, per seat, to the transporters is one incentive.

Air Taxi will have a fleet of Tecnam P2006T airplane, a twin-engine four-seat plane produced by Italian firm Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam.

Information from the Airports Authority of India indicated that by November, 299 of the UDAN courses were operational. Air Taxi was granted courses in the fourth period of the plan. It will most likely be the first to begin services on routes granted in this round.

The exact month, Star Air, a Bengaluru-based provincial airline, begun services from Kalaburagi in Karnataka to Hindon Airport in Ghaziabad. This route was granted in the third stage.

Tecnam airplanes are less expensive to maintain than a turboprop. 

These airplanes don't run on aeronautics turbine fuel, as the other customary planes, yet on flying gas.
