[edit] History
The airline was established and started operations in November 1991. It began charter operations with two 18-seat Dornier 228-201 aircraft and later operated regular services from Delhi. It is wholly owned by Jagson International.[1] In 2006 they announced plans to expand their services to 9 cities, using leased Airbus A321-200 aircraft.
Jagson have withdrawn plans to launch a nationwide scheduled low-cost airline by mid-2006 and plan to continue as a regional airline.[2]
Jagson has recently taken deliveries of RJ 80s / BAe 146-200s Avro Regional Jets. They will be starting operations to all their previous routes shortly. Efforts were on to merge the erstwhile MDLR, which operated the same type of aircraft , and form a 5 aircraft airline.
