Our Journey

2020

The Vision Takes Flight

Air Safa was conceived with a bold vision to revolutionize regional aviation in India. Our founders identified the need for reliable, premium commuter airline services connecting tier-2 and tier-3 cities, laying the foundation for what would become India's most trusted regional carrier. During this year, the business model was refined, key investors were onboarded, and feasibility studies were carried out across underserved regions. This stage set the cultural tone of Air Safa—innovation, safety, and community-first values. Beyond strategy, extensive market research was conducted, involving passenger interviews, airport feasibility reports, and government policy reviews. Teams spent countless hours in workshops brainstorming how to create not just an airline, but a movement for regional accessibility. By the end of 2020, Air Safa had already captured attention from local leaders, positioning itself as a game-changer in aviation.
