Akasa Air: Betting Big On Tier II, Tier III Connectivity & Sustainability

India's newest airline, Akasa Air has improved air travel accessibility by establishing a strong national presence and providing linkages from metros to Tier II and III cities.

Since its launch in August 2022, Akasa Air has announced network of 36 routes connecting 17 cities, namely Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kochi, Delhi, Guwahati, Agartala, Visakhapatnam, Pune, Lucknow, Goa, Hyderabad, Varanasi, Bagdogra, Bhubaneswar and Kolkata.

"Providing seamless connectivity at affordable fares across major cities will boost travel and tourism for the city. We look forward to adding more destinations to the flight map of the country," said Praveen Iyer, co-founder and Chief Commercial Officer, Akasa Air.

The airline will continue to grow its network to establish a strong pan-India presence focusing on the metro, Tier 2 & Tier 3 route connectivity. Over the next four years, the airline will add 53 additional aircraft, taking its total fleet size to 72 aircraft. According to PTI, the airline will add a 'three-digit aircraft order' by the end of the year and will launch international routes too.

India is the world's third largest aviation market and has ambitious expansion plans in the near future. With every passing year, climate change is becoming alarming and without a collective effort across sectors, mitigating the challenges would be difficult. The aviation sector has a significant role to play.

For Akasa Air, sustainability is one of the core focus areas: It is an environmentally progressive airline with the youngest and greenest fleet in Indian skies.
