Hi Josh. I live in Bangalore, just about 30 minutes from the airport. Loved your review of Star. Yes, the government is pushing hard to achieve substantial regional connectivity and make flying affordable to the common man. Would have been great to catch up with you.

That too without any food or drinks, not even water

Just unbelievable! Such a warm, friendly, welcoming crew … that actually are glad to have you aboard. Then you’re served a meal that actually looked edible on a 50 minute flight. Some would argue well there’s only 54 seats (18 rows x 3 abreast) but then you can’t force airline employees to be happy or gracious such as these Star employees seem to be. 👍🏻

I'm blown away even on REX or Qantas Link regional you are lucky to get a water bottle and a cookie!!! The engines though that is a heavenly sound!! Well done STAR AIR keep up the fantastic service 👍

But once on board, I had experienced the best service with an absolutely attentive crew. The food was great. My return flight by the same airline a week later was equally excellent. Unfortunately, Paramount Airways went bust much like most of India's airlines. This trip of yours on Star reminds me of Paramount. I enjoy your honest reviews Josh.

Having high quality Inter Regio railway services will be a boon for a country like ours which is densely populated. Far more efficient and comfortable compared to planes. Plus, trains are much better for the environment.

Looks like you were having a whale of a time, Josh! The last time I flew a plane that small was 37 years ago, and it was a little 19 seater Beech 1900 propjet. One of the worst flying experiences of my life! I do not miss propjets one bit! I was pretty impressed they gave you a meal for such a short flight. You certainly wouldn't get that on any US carrier!

Hey! I am from Gulbarga, Life of people have transformed after Gulbarga got airport under UDAN. Initially there was only STAR air with 2 flights per week but with in weeks due to high demand from people it has now changed to 2 airlines having daily flights to Bangalore.

Need a airport in Puri, Rameshwaram, Dwarka, and Badrinath. These are four crucial destinations in India which are called as Char Dham and each year many tourists go there for pilgrimage.

One of the most satisfying, positive and heartwarming aviation trip reports. I wish Star Air the very best!

Great video. Despite being an Indian, I have not gone on these routes! After this video, I think I should visit and also support airlines like Star. Look forward to more videos like this one.

Hi Josh, Thanks for sharing another great video. Star Air seems to exemplify the saying 'small is beautiful'. As for regional airliners in India there are more than 23. Here's a breakup, from Airfleets. Indigo 32 ATR72 Spicejet 15 Dash 8-400 Star Air 6 EMB -145 Air India Regional 18 ATR 72 + 3 ATR 42 = 21 planes That's 74 regional aircraft. TruJet seems to have gone defunct and all their 7 aircraft are parked, so I'm not counting them. As for your Vistara experience, it could well be because of Delhi-based crew. I have nothing against Delhi but somehow that city seems to produce more chip-on-the-shoulder type of airline crew than other places in India.

And yes I hope you visit Bangalore when the new terminal is opened Thank you so much for visiting Bangalore see you soon and happy takeoffs

Hey, I'm from Bangalore. Really great to have you in Bangalore. Would like to share few facts. Actually Bangalore is known as Bengaluru and the other small airport from which the flight initially took off is called the HAL airport which stand for Hindustan Aeronautics Limited which was earlier the primary airport of Bangalore. Basically it's the old airport of Bengaluru. Also you should definitely try the food in Bengaluru which is amazing. You could dm.me if you want something, would love to host you in Bengaluru. Have a great time in Bengaluru.

Very nice vid Josh..And the engine sound was music to an avgeek's ear! I think in Europe the only airline still flying the small Embraer jets is Loganair in Scotland with ERJ-135 and ERJ-145s..Will have to give them a try..

it is a news to me as an Indian, that there exist a flight carrier called star air

Great video as always Josh. It really makes me miss India. I want to go back soon.

Thanks for the review, Josh! It was a very nice and sweet flight experience. I really like regional airlines as they are much more customer oriented and have this personal touch that sometimes bigger airlines lack. Sure I will look forward to flying Star Air when in India. Keep them coming!

This would have to be one of the best little airlines Ive seen. Given the chance I would most definately fly them. I was very impressed👍✈️

I took a flight with jet airways back in 2016 from Toronto to Amsterdam and it was not bad at all! Quick and nice plane with decent food and drink service and most importantly for me it was by far the cheapest of any other flight at the time! Not sure how other peoples experiences were with jet airways but that was mine back then. I do know that they aren’t always the best rated airline and I have read that they have had some shady dealings financially and on a corporate level being affiliated with some not so nice groups of people if you catch my drift. That is what I read online and of course that is not always accurate but who knows. My experience was pleasant!

I used the Star Air once from Hubballi to to Tirupati and it was my first ever flight And the pilot was a foreigner as well. But loved it and hope they keep connecting the smaller cities.

I have travelled twice on Kalaburgi- Hindon (Ghaziabad) sector with Star Air and the flight was on time. The Bombardier planes offer a window seat with ease. The Airline is definitely doing its bit in connecting Tier 2 cities of India with metros particularly in South and West India. However India being a vast country, opportunities galore.

Why regional airlines don't work in india is because we have good rail and bus services. So if I have to travel upto 12 hr by rail/road. I will prefer a overnight bus/ train over plane. Although plane will reach faster . Reaching airport's in time which is outside cities and time lost in security systems make them unattractive. Plus I am not cramped in a tube with lot of luggage weight restrictions. Last and not least is cost of airtravel make them unattractive in short routes.. Majority of Indians will consider 70 AUD till gulbarga from Bangalore as expensive. But they will become really competitive in Bangalore if they fly from HAL airport because then travellers will be able to fly from city centre instead.

I am angry about what Josh said about Chennai Airport- NOT because he is wrong - but because he is RIGHT. The most useless airport management who has run the airport of India's fourth largest metro in to the ground because they are incompetent, bothered about their own selfish interests and unionisms and politics- and the State governments that run Chennai don't have it on their priority since they anyway fly private and don't care about the issues that face common public- or they love mediocrity. Thats the cold hard truth. New terminals didn't help in 2011 and they won't help next year too- India's most mismanaged airport! Thanks Josh for speaking the cold hard truth.

Amazing Video Josh, Just love the brand new engine sounds, keep up the great Job

Your videos are excellent, Josh! I’m a massive fan of the honestly. That said, can you take a trip with El Al, please? I’d like to know your honest thoughts on the airline!

Josh, That was an airline based in my part of the world. “Chautauqua” is an Iroquois word with multiple meanings, including “a bag tied in the middle” or “two moccasins tied together.” The word describes the shape of Chautauqua Lake, located in southwest New York. Pronounced - shuh·taa·kwuh. Love your video reviews, keep up the good work.

Stunning report, great flight - I love India!!!!

Hi Josh, great review and Merry Christmas . We have just booked our first Business class flights from Melbourne to Nadi with Virgin Australia, I'm so excited 🤗 never in my wildest dream's did I ever think we would have the opportunity. Bring on 2022 and here's to new experiences. ✈

Just like way Josh said it in the video several times 😂😂 I will say it again FLY STAR ⭐ AIR😆✈️

That cabin crew was one of the best I have seen so far on this channel. Would love to fly with them whenever I get the opportunity.

When you have less aircrafts and less pressure...the customer service is always great lol

Hey Josh! I love your videos👍👍🤗 Next time in India, visit North Eastern states of India

So beautifully, I'll come for sure when I start earning ..from UP

Now I CAN SAY THAT Crew of flight makes the flight the best even if the airplane is pretty descent.. Great Work Star Air Crew 👌 nd thnx for honest review Josh😊

Great review Josh. How refreshing to see a small airline like Star Air doing such good service. If they continue like this, they will do well I'm sure. It puts much larger carriers to shame. I do like your interactions with the crew and other people on your travels... it makes your videos more personal and people relate well to that.

Such a great video. 👏👏👏🛫🛬🚀. Wonderful to see the kind and fun crew. 💖💖.

The meal is better than my swiss flight to dubai 😂

@@jacksparow421 It was supposed to be the best among other famed EU carriers, this is pretty disappointing to hear. I thought it was just an underrated airline in the EU. I watched Simply Aviation' Swiss Economy class review which was uploaded some 2 yrs ago if am not wrong and I was thoroughly impressed with the airline.

This is how flying by air should be !! I think they hit the target on their slogan ... "A private jet experience "...🤩

Thank you for that Sound Man ... Pure Energy
