EaseMyTrip Enters Charter Aviation Market with 49% Stake in Big Charter

In a strategic move to expand its service portfolio, EaseMyTrip, one of India’s leading online travel agencies, has announced its foray into the charter aviation market.

The company disclosed on Monday, March 24, 2025, that it has acquired a 49% stake in Big Charter Pvt Ltd (BCPL), a Gurgaon-based private aviation company.

Board Approval and Regulatory Compliance

The decision to invest in Big Charter was made after a meeting of EaseMyTrip’s Board of Directors on March 24, 2025, which granted in-principle approval for the investment.

However, the acquisition remains subject to final clearance from the company’s Board, along with any necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals, as per the company’s exchange filing.

Apart from entering the charter aviation business, EaseMyTrip’s Board also approved key investments in its global subsidiaries. These investments are aimed at strengthening the company’s market presence across different regions.

Investment in Brazil’s Subsidiary

EaseMyTrip will inject 1,000 Brazilian Reals into Easy Trip Planners Do Brasil Ltda, its fully owned subsidiary in Brazil.

The funding is intended to enhance the subsidiary’s share capital and facilitate EaseMyTrip’s expansion initiatives in South America.

Capital Infusion in Saudi Arabia Operations

The company has also approved an infusion of 50,000 Saudi Riyals into Easy Trip Planners Limited, its wholly owned subsidiary in Saudi Arabia.

This move will bolster the subsidiary’s capital base, ensuring that EaseMyTrip can meet the rising demand for travel services in the region.

Investment in the United States Market

EaseMyTrip will further strengthen its North American operations by investing $10,000 into EaseMyTrip USA Inc., its fully owned subsidiary in the United States.

This capital infusion is expected to enhance its financial position in the highly competitive U.S. travel market.
