Akasa Air, the latest entrant in the Indian civil aviation space, has increased its pilot strength by 30 per cent to take it to 450 since April and is aiming to double the number to 900 by 2024-25, The Economic Times (ET) has reported citing CEO of Akasa Air, Vinay Dube. This comes when the airline is fighting a legal battle against some of its pilots who left Akasa without serving the mandatory notice period.
“We have many more pilots joining us than leaving,” Dube told ET. “This is the other headline that has been created with the word ‘exodus’ when that’s just absolutely not true. We have one of the lowest attrition rates.
