Akasa Air, which is financed by Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, will begin commercial flying operations in July rather than June.
"We can now confirm refined predictions on our timelines as we come closer to the airline's start date. We anticipate receiving our first aircraft in early June 2022, with plans to begin commercial operations in July 2022 "Akasa Air's CEO, Vinay Dube. Importantly, "later aircraft induction" would not be affected, and Akasa Air will continue to fly 18 aircraft by the end of March 2023, according to Dube, who is also the carrier's Founder and Managing Director.
“With respect to launching the airline, we are really grateful to the ministry of civil aviation and the DGCA for their guidance and cooperation on the essential regulatory certifications,” dube from Akasa Air said on Monday.
"We've received our noc, and the air operators permit is the next big step. We're working closely with regulatory authorities and going through all of the necessary steps to meet the certification standards. We are hoping to meet all regulatory standards for this accreditation as soon as possible "Added he.
CAPA, an aviation consulting group, predicted in November 2021 that Akasa Air’s disruption in the Indian aviation business would begin in 2024-25 “after it has scale and reaches a competitive cost basis.”
