"For the past five years, we have been engaging with aircraft manufacturers, operators, investors and aggregators to study the sector and assess its viability. We believe the timing is now right," Vishwaprasad Alva, managing director of Skanray Technologies, told FE.

Skanray has submitted applications to the civil aviation authorities and other regulators and expects approvals shortly. "Our plan is to start operations of Skanjet Aviation from April," Alva said.
