The new low-cost British international airline, flypop, has confirmed that it will make London Stansted Airport its UK airport base, connecting cities in South Asia with the UK.
With strong long-term demand for direct flights between the UK and key ‘secondary cities’ in India, the flypop team has noted that London Stansted offers excellent connectivity, especially with its rail links into both London and the Midlands. The airline’s core passenger segments are the South Asian diaspora communities in the UK, Europe and North America, their visiting friends and relatives and tourists.
“During the pandemic we have been in talks with a number of UK airports and we can now confirm London Stansted as our first UK base,” said Navdip Singh Judge, CEO & Principal of flypop. “London Stansted Airport has a history of being the base for low-cost carriers and we feel it is the perfect fit for our passengers. flypop is focused on serving the Indian and South Asian diaspora communities living in the UK and their visiting friends and relatives, for whom London Stansted is the most convenient airport location.”
London Stansted’s Managing Director, Steve Griffiths, added: “We welcome the decision by flypop to select London Stansted at its first UK base and we look forward to working with the airline as it develops its route network plans in advance of the safe return of travel between the UK and India at the appropriate moment.”
