All You Need to Know About Akasa Air:
Akasa Air, is a low-cost aviation company recently founded by the Indian billionaire, late Rakesh Jhunjhunwala. This airline flew its first commercial aircraft on August 6th, 2022 from Mumbai to Ahmedabad after it received its first Boeing 737 MAX Aircraft.
According to the CEO of the airline, Mr. Vinay Dube, the vision of the airline is to add at least 18 flights under its name by the end of December 2022. And adding to this, every year their mission would be to add 12-14 aircraft under the airlines' names which can primarily travel across the metro cities in India taking up to Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities in the latter part.
Operations of the Airlines:
Currently, the airline is operating flights between 4 metropolitan cities, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Kochi, and Bangalore. And soon will start operations from another tier-1 city, Chennai.
1. Mumbai to Ahmedabad

To keep the airlines' fares low-cost, the aviation company does not offer any in-house pre-booked meals. But passengers can order meals on board from the airline's own Café Akasa.
The airline also does not offer any entertainment services. Instead, Akasa Air offers 'Flexi Premium Services' to passengers, where passengers get the advantage of selecting seats and lower costs for changing dates and low cancelation charges.
Akasa Air, with a tagline of 'It's Your Sky' was started with the purpose of providing low-cost flight tickets to passengers, hence making it the most affordable in the market.
