New Delhi: Akasa Air is all set to gear up in the skies with the launch of its first commercial flight operation between the Mumbai-Ahmedabad route on August 7 with the brand-new Boeing 737 Max aircraft.
The Airline backed by Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, Indian billionaire business magnate, on Friday (July 22) issued a statement informing, “it has begun the sale of tickets on 28 flights that will operate weekly on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad route from August 7 as well as 28 flights on the Bengaluru-Kochi route from August 13.”
“Flight operations will be conducted on two Boeing 737 Max aircraft”, the airline carrier said.
Aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) granted Akasa Air its air operator certificate (AOC) on July 7.
Akasa Air had inked a deal with Boeing on November 26 last year to purchase 72 Max aircraft after getting a green signal from the DGCA in August.
