Mohammed Haris T to lead Al Hind Air as new regional airline gets Government nod
New Delhi/Calicut: Two new airlines — Al Hind Air and FlyExpress — are set to enter India’s aviation sector after receiving No Objection Certificates (NOCs) from the Union Ministry of Civil Aviation. Among them, Al Hind Air is being promoted by the Kerala-based Alhind Group, a travel and tourism major founded in Calicut more than three decades ago.
Al Hind Air is promoted by Mohammed Haris T, a well-known name in the travel and pilgrimage services sector. With the NOC now in place, the airline is preparing to commence operations later this year as a regional commuter carrier.
Mohammed Haris T is the promoter of the Alhind Group and brings long-standing experience in the travel and tourism industry. He is also the founder general secretary of the Indian Haj Umrah Association. Born in Calicut, he holds a Bachelor’s degree in History and Economics and has also studied Pharmacology.
Established in 1990, the Alhind Group has grown into a major player in travel and tour management across Asia. The group offers a wide range of travel-related services and has built a strong international presence over the years, with offices and partners in countries including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Bangladesh and Kuwait. The company serves a diverse global clientele, particularly in pilgrimage and international travel segments.
As part of the group’s expansion into aviation, Al Hind Air will begin operations with a fleet of ATR 72-600 aircraft. The airline will initially focus on domestic routes, aiming to provide reliable and efficient regional air connectivity.

After Gambhir's one-on-one chat session, Morkel says Abhishek "one good hit away" from finding form
Ahmedabad (PTI): All that Abhishek Sharma needs is a start, but there hasn't been any discussion about the talented opener's wretched run in the T20 World Cup so far, bowling coach Morne Morkel said ahead of India's first Super Eights game against South Africa here on Sunday.
Abhishek is yet to open his account in the current edition of the tournament and during Friday's training, he was seen spending considerable time with head coach Gautam Gambhir.
Gambhir was seen trying to explain to him certain finer points and like a diligent student, the flamboyant southpaw nodded in agreement.
After that he went for a high catch session.
At times, excess training can prove to be counter productive and Abhishek was seen bowling to the other batters for better part of the game.
When asked if there's discussion in general within the team on Abhishek, Morkel denied emphatically.
"Absolutely no discussion. He's a world class player. So far in the tournament, luckily, there's been some guys standing up for Abhishek (others scoring runs)," Morkel told the media.
However, he agreed that Abhishek needs to score runs as they enter the business end of the tourney.
"But we're going through a very important phase of the World Cup now and we expect him to do well.
"And I'm pretty sure, not just for the team, but also for all the viewers watching the game. Because he's (Abhishek) entertaining, and we love to see that.
"So yeah, I'm pretty sure he's hitting the ball well. It's just a matter of getting that start and Abhishek will get going," Morkel said.
