"Long-haul hybrid" carrier Hans Airways said in Tuesday (16 August) it was gearing up to launch a four-times-weekly Birmingham-Amritsar service after taking delivery earlier this month of its first Airbus A330-200.
Hans has been in talks with the CAA since 2020 with a view to obtaining an air operator’s licence, and said last month it was preparing to operate a route-proving flight.
The airline’s cause has been boosted this week by the arrival of Baroness Usha Prashar CBE who has, since 1970, served as director or chair of a wide variety of public and private sector organisations, as well as advocacy groups.
