Recently some new airline companies have got approval. After getting permission from the Civil Aviation Ministry, these companies will bring their airplanes in a short time and you will also be able to travel in them. One such company is Shankha Airlines. Shravan Kumar Vishwakarma, the creator of this company, is from Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh and he had been driving a tempo a few years ago. Now Shravan Kumar has told that his company is going to start its work in the early months of 2026. At least three flights will start flying to connect Lucknow to Delhi, Mumbai and other metro cities.

Shravan Kumar of Kanpur says that in the first phase this company will also run flights to connect the cities of Uttar Pradesh. If two more aircraft arrive in the next one-two months, the number of flights will increase. According to Shravan Kumar, by 2028-29 this company will also be ready to fly international flights. Only 35 years old Shravan Kumar says that his aim is to make air travel common instead of luxury.

What is the story of Shravan Kumar?

Regarding his journey, Shravan says, ‘About 4 years ago I decided that I wanted to go into aviation. Found out about it, what, how it happens, how to get NOC, how we will be able to fly, what are its rules, all this was found out. Went to DGCA and Ministry and gathered information and today things are in front of you.

He further says, ‘We had very little schooling. Because of friends and relatives, or rather, I felt less like myself. I also drove a tempo with one of my acquaintances for a few days. Started two-three more businesses with some of his friends but they did not work. Around 2014 we started cement, then we went into TMT and then we went into mining. Today our transportation work started from mining, today we have a fleet of about 450 trucks. We never thought we would do something like this. Things kept getting done.

Regarding the vision of Shankha Airlines, he says, ‘Our vision is to connect as many middle class people as possible. We are planning to not keep the ticket prices high. We want to make arrangements for those who have not boarded the flight till date. Our team is working on ensuring that those who have not yet boarded the flight should also come and those who are flying should also come. We want people not to consider flights as a big deal.
