The passenger airline business is a very sensitive one. If anything happens even if it can be corrected in some time it will hamper the entire company's image.
The Airlines business is seen as a loss-making venture.
We have seen in the recent past a few airline companies have shut their operations due to quality, governance, and resource issues (Kingfisher, Jet Airways, AirIndia)
But AirIndia and Jet Airways are in turnaround mode.
In the past few days, we have seen many issues with airlines such as planes catching fire in mid-air, employee issues and plane quality.
The new airline company Akasa,
received its Airline code from DGCA and will be called 'QP'.
and also got an air operator certificate (AOC) from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA).
By the end of the fiscal year 2023, Akasa Air will have added 18 aircraft and thereafter 12-14 aircraft every 12 months, completing its total order of 72 aircraft delivered over five years.
It will be the greenest fleet in Indian skies. Its 737 MAX family aircraft is known for reducing fuel use and carbon emissions, thanks to its fuel-efficient LEAP-1B CFM engines.
is the first Indian airline to introduce personalized comfortable pants, jackets, and slippers for its airline flight crew. The fabric is specially designed for Akasa Air using recycled polyester fabric made from plastic PET bottles recovered from marine debris and comfortable slippers for its flight crew, keeping ergonomics, aesthetics, and comfort in mind.
Company, given the mobile lifestyle of crew members and the long hours they spend on their feet, Vanilla Moon designed shoes that are lightweight and contain additional cushioning from heel to toe to ensure better support. The sole of the crew members' sneakers is carved from recycled rubber. and manufactured without any use of plastic.
This will make it an environmentally friendly airline company.
As it started with many firsts in the airline industry let's wait and see how it will start and grow, by this month's end it planning to take off its first flight.
A year back I have written an article on Akasa airlines when it was announced. take a look into it,
