Air Mantra was a regional airline headquartered in New Delhi, India,[2] that operated domestic flights between July 2012 and April 2013.
Air Mantra was founded in 2011 by Indian conglomerate Religare Group (which had operated an air charter branch in 2006),[3] in order to get a grip on the airline market in northern India.[4] The initial growth plan saw the acquisition of ATR 72 and Bombardier Q400 aircraft.[5]
Revenue flights were launched on 23 July 2012. The initial two daily flights between Chandigarh and Amritsar[6] were operated using a fleet of two Beechcraft-1900 D aircraft.[citation needed] Eight months later, on 31 March 2013, all operations were suspended due to poor bookings,[7] and the company was subsequently liquidated.
