Panaji, 9th February 2026:
Regional airline FLY91 today operated its inaugural flight on the Kochi–Agatti sector, launching a new daily service connecting Kerala with the Lakshadweep islands.The route is expected to significantly improve access to Lakshadweep via southern India’s key aviation gateway.
With the introduction of Kochi services, FLY91 deepens its presence in southern India and further strengthens connectivity to Lakshadweep. The new Kochi–Agatti service complements the existing Goa–Agatti route, offering residents and visitors greater flexibility and seamless mainland access.
“The daily Kochi connection significantly enhances onward travel options, given Kochi’s extensive domestic and international network,” said Manoj Chacko, Managing Director and CEO, FLY91. “For residents of Agatti and neighbouring islands, this service makes essential travel for education, healthcare, employment and commerce easier, while also supporting the steady growth of tourism in Lakshadweep.”
The launch of the Kochi–Agatti route aligns with FLY91’s broader vision of enhancing last-mile air connectivity to underserved and remote regions across India. By linking smaller towns and island communities with major urban hubs, the airline aims to make regional air travel more accessible, reliable and time-efficient.
As part of its next phase of expansion, FLY91 will commence operations at six new regional stations in the coming months — Rajahmundry, Vijayawada, Hubballi, Dabolim (Goa), Nanded and Indore.
