Founder and CEO of Akasa Air, Vinay Dube said: “Akasa was born out of a belief that building a great airline requires more than ambition; it requires discipline, purpose, and heart. In just three years, we have proven that it is possible to scale rapidly, deliver consistently, and stay deeply human in how we operate. We are not just growing fast, we are growing right.”
As we turn three, we extend our heartfelt thanks for your trust, your belief and for being part of our incredible journey. With a skyful of gratitude, here’s to many more years of flying high together!#AkasaTurns3 #SkyfulOfGratitude #AkasaAir #ItsYourSky pic.twitter.com/whO7W00AXf

He added, “With over 19 million passengers flown, an engaged workforce of over 4,700 Akasians, and a consistent record of operational excellence, Akasa is poised to become a generational institution in global aviation and remains firmly anchored to its long-term vision of being among the top 30 airlines globally by the end of this decade.”
Akasa now operates 30 aircraft connecting 28 destinations, including 23 domestic and five international. It signed a codeshare agreement with Etihad Airways in March 2025.
The airline has logged over 100,000 total departures, including over 3,800 international flights, while maintaining the lowest cancellation rate in Indian aviation.
Akasa Air also plans to deepen its presence in key Indian hubs such as Delhi and expand globally into SAARC and ASEAN regions. The airline expects its fleet to grow to over 30 aircraft by the end of 2025. Currently it operates 30 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft and has placed an order for 226 more.
