Deepinder Goyal, co-founder of Zomato, is launching a new aviation startup, LAT Aerospace, to make regional air travel more affordable and accessible.
The startup aims to offer faster and more affordable regional air travel with short take-off and landing aircraft, promising a 'walk-in and fly' experience by operating from compact air-stops near residential areas.
LAT Aerospace has raised $50 million, with Goyal contributing $20 million. The startup plans to connect overlooked locations and utilize India's vast aviation potential by leveraging smaller airstrips.
Former Zomato COO Surobhi Das, co-founder of LAT Aerospace, emphasizes the need to transform the current regional air travel landscape and invites professionals to join the enterprise for pioneering advancements in the aviation industry.
