Alhind Air, which received its no-objection certificate in December 2025, is facing delays in launching commercial operations. The primary obstacle is not aircraft supply, but rather difficulties in securing financing for aircraft acquisition. The airline aims to start with three ATR 72 turboprop aircraft and prefers outright purchases over leasing, which requires significant upfront capital and lender confidence. Efforts to attract external investors are ongoing, but no firm commitments have been secured.
