In today’s episode, we sit down with Abhinav Tripathi. Founder, JR Airlines & Private Jet Operator, who entered aviation after struggling to book an air ambulance he could trust for his father, and went from charter broker to operating his own jets and helicopters.
We discuss why India has only ~215 private jets, how charter pricing makes you pay for the aircraft’s journey instead of yours, the ₹25 crore it costs to run one jet every year, why banks refuse to finance aircraft, and the 5% vs 40% GST gap that shapes how the rich buy planes.
A business built on the one flight he couldn’t book.
