Star Air has been very innovative in its approach, from outright purchase of E145s in the past to utilising the services of HAL for MRO and saving costs. With just nine planes and 25 stations, the airline is stretching itself on the network side. However, for the routes that it operates the demand may not exist for a daily operation and that means it has capacity available to deploy to a few places on and off. What then needs to be thought is the right days of operation for each route? Is Star Air cracking that code?
