Akasa Air to launch international flights by end of 2023

India’s newest low-cost carrier Akasa Air has postponed the launch of its regular international flights while it waits to secure its operator’s permit.

Speaking to Outlook India on June 23, 2022, Akasa Air CEO Vinay Dube said that the airline has identified a set of routes it aims to fly to, it is not able to launch flights until it has secured the necessary operational approvals.

“We can’t zoom in on the routes because the airports must give us permission to land, park, office space, and slots. This will be possible only after we get our operator’s permit which we hope to get by this month-end,” Dube said.
