The initial flights will be in cities; Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Kochi, and Bengaluru. From August 7, the airline will run 28 weekly flights between Ahmedabad-Mumbai, and later from August 13, it will start operations for Mumbai-Kochi.
The Rakesh Jhunjhunwala-backed Akasa Air will launch its first commercial flight on August 7 by operating its first service on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad route using a Boeing 737 Max plane.
The airline carrier said flight operations will be conducted on two Boeing 737 Max aircraft. Boeing has already delivered the plane and the delivery of the second is scheduled for later this month.
