India To Get Its First Subscription Based Airline & Here’s Everything We Know About It!

Prince Air, India’s first-ever subscription-based airline is here. Founded by Sanket Raj Singh, this New Delhi-based startup offers unlimited travel on its private jets in a subscription model. In simple terms, you need to pay a monthly subscription as you’d do for a Netflix or Amazon Prime account, and you can enjoy unlimited travel on private jets. Prince Air was designed to offer exclusive experiences in an inclusive manner. Patrons can enjoy private jet services for a fraction of their cost. So, you can expect faster, more affordable and efficient services for everyone. With less time spent in airports, a round trip flight from Delhi to Mumbai and back would save you at least 3 hours by Prince Air.

Prince Air Offers Private Jet Like Experience Under Subscription Model

The Indian airline industry is geared up for a new beginning thanks to the new flying model by Prince Air. Passengers can fly multiple times for a monthly subscription. Prince Air’s Founder, Sanket Raj Singh stated that passengers subscribing to this new model can enjoy a privileged experience. It will be very different from the regular check-ins at airports. He claims that members can have a similar experience like owning their own private jet. Flying in Prince Air would mean passengers must arrive at the airport half an hour before departure from a separate entry gate, unlike the rest. The airline will also arrange chauffeur-driven luxury car services for airport pick off and drop off.
