Panaji: In a heartwarming testament to the impact of regional connectivity, FLY91 has celebrated Manas Kulkarni, a progressive farmer from Jalgaon, as FLY91 most frequent flyer, having completed 50 flights with the airline on the Jalgaon-Pune route.
The FLY91 most frequent flyer milestone was marked on July 2, as Kulkarni, who cultivates bananas, cotton, pulses, and other crops in Vivare Bk village, boarded his 50th flight from Jalgaon to Pune.

FLY91 staff felicitated him at Jalgaon Airport in recognition of his continued loyalty and support since the route’s inception under India’s Regional Connectivity Scheme (RCS-UDAN).
“This is my 50th flight with FLY91, and I’m really looking forward to it,” FLY91 most frequent flyer Kulkarni said, visibly surprised and touched by the airline’s gesture.
Kulkarni’s frequent flying is driven by family rather than business. His wife and son moved to Pune in 2013 for the latter’s education, and the connection has since remained strong. “Earlier, I would spend nearly 13 hours traveling by train or road. Now, thanks to FLY91, I reach Pune in just about an hour,” he shared.
FLY91 Most Frequent Flyer Milestone
FLY91, based in Goa, is a pure-play regional airline dedicated to bridging tier 2 and tier 3 cities with affordable and convenient air travel. The FLY91 Most Frequent Flyer milestone achieved by Kulkarni underscores the airline’s mission to transform accessibility and ease mobility for everyday Indians.

“Every route we open is designed to reduce travel time for people in underserved regions. Mr. Kulkarni’s story is the perfect example of why we do what we do,” said Manoj Chacko, CEO & MD of FLY91.
The airline, which operates under the UDAN scheme, is seeing rising demand from repeat flyers like Kulkarni – offering strong validation for its business model and national vision.
So impressed is Kulkarni by his journey with the airline that he’s coined a tagline of his own: “FLY91 – Connecting Families.”
