Akasa Air, the low-cost Indian airline, has secured authorization to operate international routes, according to an ET report quoting sources. The airline plans to commence international flights, primarily targeting Middle Eastern destinations, possibly starting in December. The next steps involve the allocation of traffic rights by the government, followed by approvals from the respective countries.
These traffic rights are granted on a reciprocal basis between governments and their designated airlines, the report said. Notably, established routes between India and Middle East hubs like Dubai and Doha are already fully utilized and airlines cannot operate more flights than the allotted ones.
