TruJet


TruJet is an Indian regional airline based at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in Hyderabad.

History

Turbo Megha Airways Private Limited was incorporated on March 14, 2013 with Ram Charan and Vankayalapati Umesh as promoters, with the backing of 20 investors. The company planned to operate ATR aircraft primarily aimed at pilgrims and middle class travellers to destinations like Tirupati.
The airline obtained a No Objection Certificate from the Ministry of Civil Aviation on 21 July 2014.
In August 2014, the promoters initiated negotiations to sell a majority stake in the airline to Hyderabad-based Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Limited in order to fund their operations.
MEIL holds 90 per cent stake in the airline.
The airline adopted the brand name TruJet in February 2015.
TruJet received its air operator's certificate for regional operations from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation on 7 July 2015. The airline commenced operations on 12 July with a flight from its Hyderabad hub to Tirupati.
The airline's Air Operators Permit was changed to the scheduled commuter operator category by the DGCA in May 2017, allowing the carrier to operate flights to other regions of India under the government's UDAN Regional Connectivity Scheme.
From 12 July 2020, five out of seven ATR aircraft operated by TruJet were grounded by lessors due unpaid dues.
