 A Historic Day for Odisha’s Aviation Dream

Air Kalinga has officially received its NSOP Licence from DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) — a proud and defining moment for the aviation community of Odisha and India.

This achievement marks the beginning of a new chapter in business aviation, where Odisha steps into the national spotlight as a hub for premium private jet and charter services.

 What Does the NSOP Licence from DGCA Mean?

The Non-Scheduled Operator’s Permit (NSOP) is the official authorization from DGCA that allows Air Kalinga to operate non-scheduled charter flights across India and abroad.

This means Air Kalinga is now fully certified to:
✅ Operate business and VIP charter jets for executives, government officials, and private clients.
✅ Offer medical evacuation (air ambulance) services with professional care.
✅ Run tourism, special mission, and personalized flight operations.
✅ Uphold the highest DGCA safety and operational standards.

This certification is a stamp of excellence — confirming that Air Kalinga meets the most rigorous aviation requirements in India.

 The Vision Behind Air Kalinga

The dream of Air Kalinga was born from Capt. Sandeep Kumar Mishra’s 22 years in the cockpit — witnessing how aviation connects dreams, people, and possibilities.

After decades of flying and managing aviation operations, Capt. Mishra envisioned something extraordinary — a company from Odisha that could stand proudly among India’s finest aviation brands.

Under his leadership, Air Kalinga, along with Aeromasterclass and Blackstar Aerospace, is shaping an integrated aviation ecosystem — from pilot education to charter operations and aerospace manufacturing.

“This NSOP licence is not just a milestone; it’s a mission fulfilled.
Odisha is ready to lead India’s next aviation story.”
Capt. Sandeep Kumar Mishra, Founder & CEO, Air Kalinga
