Akasa Air resumes pilot hiring after 18-month pause as fleet expansion restarts
Budget carrier Akasa Air has resumed pilot hiring after an 18-month pause as it prepares to add more aircraft to its fleet, founder and chief executive Vinay Dube said on Wednesday.
Mumbai-headquartered Akasa paused pilot hiring in June 2024 due to delays in aircraft deliveries from Boeing. With the US plane maker now expected to adhere to its revised delivery timelines, the airline has begun recruiting pilots again.
