Star Air Welcomes Final E175

The Embraer E175 is a cutting-edge regional jet recognized for its quiet operation, advanced features, and impeccable safety history. Star Air underscores its commitment to sustainability through the advanced environmental performance of the Embraer E175LR.
With its fuel-efficient engines and minimized emissions, this aircraft aligns perfectly with Star Air’s pledge to diminish its carbon footprint and foster a more environmentally friendly aviation sector for the future.
With its fleet comprising 5 ERJ 145s, the airline now boasts 9 all-Embraer jet aircraft. It serves 27 city pairs and recently announced the addition of 5 more city pairs from Nanded (NDC) (shown in grey on the map below).
Out of the 27 city pairs, 17 are RCS-UDAN routes (highlighted in cyan), while the remaining 10 are non-RCS UDAN routes, marked in red.
Among these 10 routes are those that were previously RCS UDAN routes but have extended operations beyond the subsidy and exclusivity period. Examples include:
- AMD to IXG
- BOM to IXG
- BLR to GBI
