What type of aircraft does TajAir fly?

TajAir has a fleet of 2 Falcon 2000 aircraft manufactured by Dassault, France. With an optimum speed of 0.8 mach, the Falcon 2000 is the best executive jet in its class. Our fleet is just over 7 years old, making it the youngest fleet in India.

The Falcon 2000 was originally designed to seat 16 passengers in an economy configuration. We have reconfigured the aircraft to ensure more room for 8 passengers.

When you fly TajAir, you have more than twice the space than any other executive jet available for air charter in India.

Can I book and fly right away?

Destinations within India:
If the aircraft is available, you can fly at 4 hours notice to eleven destinations in India where airports operate round the clock. For other destinations, travel is subject to airport formalities and landing clearances.

Being a registered executive jet service, TajAir liaises with multiple agencies to ensure that you can fly as early as possible. For instance, if your destination is located close to a defense airfield in India, TajAir facilitates approval for non-Indian passengers within 7 working days as against 30 days for a foreign registered aircraft with a foreign crew.

Destinations outside India:
For international destinations, at least 3 working days notice is required to execute a flight itinerary - primarily due to permissions from the local regulatory authorities in India. It is also subject to receiving ‘over flying’, landing clearances and visa for crew members (as per requirement of the specific country).

To book a jet, do request for a quotation or contact us at the nearest TajAir office.
