Akasa Air launch may be delayed further as it awaits aircraft delivery
Akasa Air’s launch of services is likely to be delayed further as the airline is expected to receive its first aircraft only in June or July, according to a senior DGCA official.
The carrier, backed by ace investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, initially planned to start operations in June and then postponed the plan to July.
A top airline official said it intends to start services in July.
The Mumbai-based airline, registered as SNV Aviation, received the mandatory no-objection certificate from the civil aviation ministry in October last year.
Once the aircraft is inducted, then the airline has to conduct a set of successful proving flights.
