flypop Takes Delivery of Second Aircraft

(24 Jan 2022)  The low-cost, long-haul airline, flypop, has added a second aircraft - an Airbus A330 - to its fleet which will be used for cargo operations.

Based at London Stansted Airport (STN), flypop has been working with Hi Fly airline for zero LOPA cargo operations over the past few months to meet the growing international demand for cargo flights.

LOPA means Layout of Passenger Accommodation, and in this case, flypop is using passenger aircraft without any seating etc onboard to operate the cargo flights.

Navdip (Nino) Singh Judge, CEO & Principal of flypop, said, “Fantastic to see our second flypop aircraft in the skies and especially here at our UK base at London Stansted Airport and flying over my house! flypop is now a revenue generating airline and we look forward to continuing to grow our fleet of aircraft throughout 2022 for both cargo and passenger operations.”

Over the next few months flypop is expected to add two more aircraft to its fleet which will also be used for cargo flights.

The airline has plans to launch passenger flights in the summer to meet the pent-up demand of the Indian diaspora communities living in the UK and their visiting friends and relatives.

The flypop team are currently considering several destinations on the Indian subcontinent including Amritsar, Hyderabad, Goa, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Kochi and Chandigarh.

“We expect a surge in demand for low-cost flights to India from the UK from Q2 onwards,” added Nino
