Expedited Departures Unpopular with Indian Low-Cost Carrier
Founded in August 2022, Mumbai, India-based Akasa Air is an Indian low-cost air-carrier operating a fleet of 19 Boeing 737 MAX 8 and one 737 MAX 200 narrow-body airliners to 16 destinations across the Indian subcontinent. Currently, Akasa Air has outstanding orders for an additional 56 aircraft. Notwithstanding the airline’s promise and the apparent optimism of its management, Akasa Air’s aspirations to expand have been hampered, of late, by pilot attrition.
