Company

About Poonawalla Aviation

Poonawalla Aviation is the Pune based aviation company of the Cyrus Poonawalla Group, which also owns the Serum Institute of India. It offers the group's aircraft for charter, with locations in Pune and Mumbai, and its fleet is small but built for long distances.

It flies a Bombardier Global 6500, which it says has the widest cabin in its class and carries 12 passengers about 12,200 kilometres, and a Global 6000 with high speed Ka-band internet, a three-zone cabin and about 11,100 kilometres of range. Either can fly nonstop from Pune or Mumbai to Europe, Africa or East Asia. A new Airbus H145 twin-engine helicopter, which it calls the quietest in its class, seats seven for short trips around Maharashtra and the Western Ghats.

Poonawalla Aviation arranges door to door transfers and onboard service around each trip, making it one of the few Indian operators offering ultra long range jets for charter from western India.
