Rakesh Jhunjhunwala-owned Akasa Airlines on Thursday received its flying permit from DGCA.
The Air Operator Certificate (AOC) from the country’s aviation regulator will make it the eighth domestic airline, not counting regional airlines.
The airline services tweeted, “We are pleased to announce the receipt of our Air Operator Certificate (AOC). This is a significant milestone, enabling us to open our flights for sale and leading to the start of commercial operations.”
