Political parties pay ₹15 crore in advance: JR Airlines founder

JR Airlines founder Abhinav Tripathi said on the podcast that political parties pay charter operators in full and in advance, sometimes ₹10-15 crore. "They know this is their mode of transport," he said. Tripathi said parties mainly use helicopters, while business owners dominate private jets, adding that advance payments also protect operators from losses if systems face funding disruptions.
