Private carrier Paramount Airways, which has a strong presence in south India, would enter the western Indian skies by the end of this year and add 15 more aircraft to its kitty over the next three years.

Talking to reporters here after the launch of Paramount’s fourth flight in the Chennai-Madurai sector last evening, the company’s managing director, M Thiagarajan, said the airline would try to provide maximum number of services across the cities in the western region.

But he did not divulge names of the cities the airline would serve in the west. “By early 2010, we’ll have a national presence,” he added.

The carrier already owns five Embraer 170/175 aircraft and connects eight destinations in South India through 50 daily flights.

Though a newcomer, the airliner carries an average 100 tonnes of cargo daily, he said.
