Ahmedabad:
Low-cost intra-state airline Ventura Airline today operated its maiden flight from Surat to Bhavnagar.
The airline, which uses the brand-name of Bhopal-based Ventura Airlines under an agreement, has been started by Govind Dholakia of SRK Exports, Lavji Badshah of Avadh-Anjani Group, Lalji Patel of Dharmanand Diamonds and Savji Dholakia of Hari Krishna Exports.
The main objective was to provide more air connectivity from Surat, which is a hub of global diamond processing and export industry, Dholakia said.
"Though the official name of this airline is Ventura Airline, people fondly call it `Diamond Airline', as it has been started by diamond traders like me," he said.
