- WORDS NAINA SARMA MARIA VERGHESE

India's luxury wedding landscape is witnessing an unusual but telling shift. Affluent families are increasingly turning to private jet charters to ferry guests to destination celebrations, elevating travel from a logistical necessity into a defining element of the wedding experience itself. According to aviation service providers, enquiries for bespoke charter flights designed exclusively for wedding entourages have risen sharply in recent seasons, underscoring how travel is now being reimagined as part of the ceremony rather than a means to reach it.
