flybig was an India regional airline based in Gurgaon, Haryana. It was promoted by Gurugram-based Big Charter Private Limited. The airline began operations in December 2020 and focused on connecting tier-2 cities within India. Prior to ceasing operations the airline operated in north and northwest India.
Before the airline began scheduled flights, it got its first route under a government tender to serve Shillong Airport from Delhi. The flights commenced on 21 December 2020 and to fulfil its obligations, the airline a DHC-8 Q400 aircraft from SpiceJet. The airline conducted proving flights on 4 December 2020, and operated its first scheduled flight on 3 January 2021 from Indore to Ahmedabad. As of March 2024, it has 11 destinations with a fleet of three aircraft covering 3 states.
In November 2023, FlyBig Airlines temporarily ceased operations in Arunachal Pradesh, citing supply chain challenges as the primary reason.
In November 2025, it was reported that the Indian civil aviation authority had received an IDERA (Irrevocable Deregistration and Export Request Authorization) from AER Leasing Corp, the Japanese aircraft leasing company, which is the lessor of flybig's three Indian-registered DHC-6-400 Twin Otters. The aircraft have not performed any flights since October 2025 and are currently parked at Bhopal Airport. An IDERA request is a legal document which enables an aircraft lessor to have its aircraft deregistered and exported from a country if an airline defaults on lease payments. On 8 December, it was then reported that Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE Capital) had won a $1.1 million award from flybig due to the airline's failure to meet lease agreement obligations in relation to previously leased ATR 72 aircraft. While flybig has not performed any flights since the aircraft were grounded in October, the company formally ceased operations on 13 December 2025, when its air operator's certificate (AOC) issued by India's Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) expired.
