Ventura AirConnect Expands Surat Routes To Ahmedabad, Rajkot, Bhavnagar & Amreli

Introduces Life-Saving Organ Transport

Ventura AirConnect, Surat’s homegrown regional airline, introduced flights linking Surat with Ahmedabad, Bhavnagar, Rajkot, and Amreli, cutting the travel time between Surat and Saurashtra to just 30 minutes.

For over 11 years, Ventura AirConnect has operated daily services on the Surat–Ahmedabad, Surat–Bhavnagar, Surat–Rajkot, and Surat–Amreli routes using the 9-seater Cessna Grand Caravan. 

Ventura AirConnect is the only airline in India to have consistently operated daily services with small aircraft at economical prices from a single base for more than a decade. It also holds a prominent position in the NSOP (Non-Scheduled Operator Permit) category, a distinction that brings pride to both Surat and Gujarat.

Ventura AirConnect said, “Surat symbolizes progress and development, and the aviation sector in the city has shown strong enthusiasm and support since the company’s inception.”

The airline also introduced a luxurious, high-speed and ultra-safe 8-seater Pilatus PC-12 aircraft, manufactured in Switzerland, to expand its charter flight services. 

Each aircraft operates with nine passengers and two pilots. The flight durations are approximately 30 minutes to Bhavnagar, 45 minutes to Amreli and 60 minutes to Ahmedabad and Rajkot, significantly reducing travel time across the state.

Ventura AirConnect also launched a dedicated organ transport air service. The airline has received medical approval to transport human organs swiftly between cities. This service is now being successfully implemented across Gujarat and will soon be extended to other states at affordable rates.

The objective behind this initiative is not only civic service but also saving human lives by ensuring timely organ delivery in emergency situations. The aircraft used for this service is registered as VT-DEV, aptly named Dev, symbolizing its role as a “divine messenger" in saving lives. Through this initiative, Ventura AirConnect has once again shown the vital role the private sector can play in humanitarian service.

Moreover, Ventura AirConnect has launched Surat’s only advanced aircraft maintenance facility, which is expected to usher in a new era of aircraft maintenance in the city, attracting aircraft from across India.

The public-spirited vision of Ventura AirConnect’s mentors Govind Dholakia, Savji Dholakia and Lavji Badshah, and their commitment to public service has ensured that this essential regional air service has continued uninterrupted since 2014.
