Akasa Air expands its training centre, can train over 700 professionals

Akasa Air has expanded its training and development centre, which can train more than 700 aviation professionals, including pilots, cabin crew, engineers and airport services and security personnel.

As the less-than-a-year-old carrier, which has more than 2,500 staff, announced its expansion on Monday, Founder and CEO Vinay Dube said, “we are confident about our future and continue to invest in it. Nothing we do at Akasa is short term in nature”.

In recent days, the country’s fast-growing civil aviation sector has witnessed turbulence with budget carrier Go First suspending flights since May 3 and later going into resolution proceedings under the insolvency law.
