Jet Airways will find a new rival in Akasa Air, which is expected to begin operations soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Backed by billionaire Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, Akasa received its flying license from the aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA)after successfully working on test flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The low-cost airline, which took delivery of its first Boeing Co. 737 Max jet last month, intends to begin operations with two aircraft. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Akasa will add 18 jets by the end of the year ending March 2023 and then induct 12 to 14 aircraft every year, bringing its fleet to a total of 72 planes over five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
