Leaving on a jet plane: India's super-rich prefer their own planes now

According to a report, several Indian entrepreneurs are buying long-range business jets to fly as far as the US and Europe

India's super-rich now appear to be gaining confidence in their public image and are not shying away from splurging their wealth. According to a report in The Economic Times, several Indian entrepreneurs are buying long-range business jets to fly as far as the US and Europe.

The corporates are showing an inclination for bigger jets as their wealth rises, and people prefer exclusive modes of travel following Covid-19.

Media mogul Kalanithi Maran's Sun TV, the Adani Group and Cyrus and Adar Poonawallas, who own Serum Institute of India, are among those who have recently bought bigger jets, the report said.
