Background
Fly Hornbill is listed among Indian companies in the civil aviation sector. The name is evocative of the hornbill, a bird of significant cultural importance in north-eastern India, particularly in Nagaland, where the Hornbill Festival is held annually.
Significance
Indian regional and scheduled aviation has expanded considerably since the liberalisation of the sector, with several smaller carriers entering the market under regional connectivity initiatives such as the Government of India's UDAN (Ude Desh ka Aam Naagrik) scheme. Carriers operating under such frameworks contribute to improving air connectivity to under-served and remote airports, including those in the north-east, the Himalayan belt, and tier-II and tier-III cities.
