Jagson Airlines operated as an air charter service provider headquartered in Delhi, India, focusing on domestic charter flights.
History
Charter operations commenced in November 1991 with a pair of 18-seat Dornier 228-201 aircraft. The establishment of Jagsons Airlines Limited took place in January 1994, aiming to offer air-taxi services under the Government's open sky initiative. Founded by J.P. Gupta, Pradeep Kumar Gupta, and their partners, the initial strategy involved acquiring four planes; however, operations started with a single Dornier 228.
In 2006, the airline revealed intentions to broaden its network to nine cities utilizing leased Airbus A321-200 jets. Early in 2009, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) granted Jagson a regional airline license. Despite this, the company did not launch regional routes within the mandated 18-month period, resulting in the expiration of that license. Nevertheless, Jagson maintained its non-scheduled operator permit and continued providing charter services from Delhi and Mumbai without offering scheduled flights. The airline ultimately discontinued operations in 2010.
