Akasa Air, a growing Indian airline, believes that the aviation market is large enough for them to succeed and does not view competition as either encouraging or discouraging. The airline currently operates a fleet of 24 Boeing 737 MAX planes, conducting over 900 flights per week. While prioritizing service excellence and cost leadership, Akasa Air is also looking to expand its network and international operations. Ancillary services, such as allowing pets on board, are a focus area for the airline. Akasa Air has over 4,000 employees and plans to expand its fleet with over 200 aircraft in the next eight years.
