Vinay Dube, Founder, MD & CEO, Akasa Air, says: “We are part of India’s growth story. We can help underpin the economic growth as is required with strong transportation links. We are India’s most on-time airline and so we have a real sort of approach to service excellence that we hope is not seen so far. For me, it is just excitement in the future and to top it all off, we are starting our first international flight and so we get to plant the orange Akasa flag in Doha, Qatar just in a few days and we have broken all records with it. We are the first airline to fly internationally within 19 months of launch when most others have taken about six years and that is the reason why I am so excited.”
