erm...since they've got only a couple of aircraft, the turnaround time for the aircraft is pretty short. what that means, 1 aircraft(say) makes 10 -15 takeoffs or landings in a day. & you do know something vaguely about airline safety, right? :-)

Not trying to scare you off or anyone for that matter, just the thought of new airline company with too few aircraft....takes cheap to a new level.

This being India, We are like this only!

umm..... most airlines operate all their aircrafts that way. Whether the airline has 2 or 200 aircraft, they make sure that they are in the air as much as possible. The issue of airline safety is not with the number of flights, but with proper ground service and maintenance.
