Tokiwair to Join Aircraft Manufacturing, Aiming for First Flight Within Five Years

While Light Sport Aircraft (LSAs) are currently treated as experimental aircraft in Japan, they are recognized as practical planes in the United States and other countries. Tokiwair aims to secure approval in the U.S. and conduct its first flight within five years.

Since launching operations in 2024, Tokiwair has continued to post net losses. However, the company is now stepping up efforts to restructure and improve its financial standing.

Starting in October, entrepreneur Takafumi Horie has joined the board of directors to help strengthen management and guide the company toward a more sustainable future.

In an announcement on October 6th, Tokiwair also revealed plans to launch a so-called super app initiative. This platform is designed to link transportation, hospitals, and restaurants across Niigata Prefecture, creating a seamless user experience through a single app.

This initiative is part of a broader strategy to shift the airline toward profitability and expand its role in the regional community.

Second Nashik-Delhi Flight Service to Start Within Two Months, Announcement Soon

The Nashik-Delhi air service, which resumed operations a month ago, has successfully “taken off,” bringing good news for Nashik residents eager to travel to Delhi. In addition to this, another Nashik-Delhi air service is set to be launched within the next two months, with a formal announcement expected soon.

After experiencing disruptions in recent days, air services from Nashik have now returned to normal. Currently, IndiGo is the airline operating flights from Nashik’s Ozar Airport. Additionally, there are reports that the Nashik-Jaipur air service, which has been suspended for the last six months via Indore, is also likely to restart soon.

The Nashik-Indore route sees a significant number of passengers, and travelers from Nashik stand to benefit greatly from connecting flights available via Indore. According to sources, the new Nashik-Delhi night service will depart from Ozar Airport, reaching Delhi within a few hours. This schedule will be convenient for passengers who wish to complete their work in Delhi during the day and return to Nashik the same night.

Manish Rawal, Vice President of the NIMA Aviation Committee, Nashik, stated, “It has been decided that an additional service for Nashik-Delhi air travel will start soon. Its formal announcement will be made shortly. Nashik has recently gained importance in many respects, especially with the upcoming Simhastha Kumbh Mela. The Aviation Committee of NIMA is making continuous efforts to ensure Nashik remains well connected with all major cities across the country.”

Currently, flights operate from Ozar Airport to Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, and Goa. The Indore-Jaipur route is expected to start soon. Furthermore, efforts are underway to establish air connectivity between Nashik and other major cities such as Kolkata, Chennai, Varanasi, Lucknow, Punjab, and Rajasthan, added Rawal.

With these developments, Nashik’s air connectivity is poised to expand significantly, benefiting residents and visitors alike.
