Akasa Air – India’s newest airline – has opened ticket sales for 28 weekly flights on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad and Bengaluru-Kochi routes. Services from Mumbai will begin August 7 and those from Bengaluru will kick in six days later, the Rakesh Jhunjhunwala-promoted airline said in a statement. Akasa Air will launch commercial operations with two new Boeing 737 Max aircraft; one has delivered and the second is scheduled to arrive later this month.
Bookings will be available via the mobile App, the website (www.akasaair.com), through travel agents and several OTAs across the country.
“We kick-start operations with flights between Mumbai and Ahmedabad, with the brand-new Boeing 737 Max aircraft,” Praveen Iyer, co-founder and chief commercial officer, said.
