Beginning October 7th, the airline will fly from Delhi (DEL) to Ahmedabad (AMD) and Bengaluru (BLR). A quick scan of the airline\u2019s website reveals that the Delhi-Ahmedabad fares start at \u20b94.578 ($57) and Delhi-Bengaluru at \u20b97,057 ($89).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The airline began operations on August 7th with the inaugural flight from Mumbai (BOM) to Ahmedabad (AMD). Since then, it has expanded its reach to several cities, including Kochi (COK), Bengaluru (BLR), and Chennai (MAA).<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Akasa Air completed its 1st month of operations a couple of days ago and witnessed both ups and downs in the last 30 days. The overall feedback for the airline has been positive. Bookings have been good, given the competitive prices, and there have been no major customer service challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there have also been a few roadblocks. Just a week after its launch, Akasa\u2019s primary investor&nbsp;Rakesh Jhunjhunwala passed away. Even though <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.akasaair.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jhunjhunwala <\/a><\/strong>was not supposed to be involved in the day-to-day running of the carrier, his presence gave significant support to the airline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also, read       <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/index.php\/2022\/09\/08\/aeroflot-signs-agreement-for-339-aircraft-with-deliveries-intended-from-2023-exclusive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Aeroflot signs agreement for 339 aircraft with deliveries intended from 2023 | Exclusive<\/a>           <\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/index.php\/2022\/09\/01\/british-airline-virgin-atlantic-and-indigo-announce-codeshare-deal-exclusive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">British airline Virgin Atlantic and IndiGo airline announce codeshare deal | Exclusive<\/a>                  <\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/index.php\/2022\/08\/26\/turkish-airlines-plane-diverted-to-chennai-due-to-woman-in-labour-gave-birth-on-flight-and-unfortunately-this-happened\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Turkish Airlines plane diverted to Chennai due to woman in Labour gave birth on flight and unfortunately, this Happened\u2026<\/a><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The airline also suffered a significant&nbsp;security breach&nbsp;involving passenger data but confirmed to passengers that no critical information, such as cost details or travel records, were accessed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The airline has so far maintained that it is on the right track and plans to increase its fleet size rapidly at the rate of one new aircraft every 2 weeks until all 72&nbsp;MAXs&nbsp;on order have been received. As its fleet size strengthens, Akasa will likely declare more destinations in the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"competitive-terrain\">Akasa Air<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Akasa Air began operations shortly before the Indian government scrapped the price cap rules. The airline has been offering tickets at lower prices than industry norms, forcing others to follow suit. Flights between <strong>Mumbai and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ahmedabad\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ahmedabad<\/a>, Mumbai and Bengaluru and Bengaluru and Kochi<\/strong> &#8211; where Akasa Air flies &#8211; now cost 20\u201325% less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Akasa&#8217;s website reveals that tickets for a Bengaluru-Mumbai flight on some days can be had for a little over \u20b92,500 ($31). Anticipating competition, the country\u2019s largest airline, IndiGo, has grown capacity on all Akasa\u2019s routes and dropped fares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/akasa-air-2-1024x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26566\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/akasa-air-2-1024x533.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/akasa-air-2-600x313.jpg 600w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/akasa-air-2-300x156.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/akasa-air-2-768x400.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/akasa-air-2-150x78.jpg 150w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/akasa-air-2-750x391.jpg 750w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/akasa-air-2-1140x594.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/akasa-air-2.jpg 1248w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><strong>Akasa Air | Aviationa2z.com<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While low fares are good news for&nbsp;passengers, unhealthy price wars can affect business for the airlines.
