Regardless of Covid clouds continuing to cast a shadow on the airlines, Akasa Air CEO Vinay Dube is more than positive as he asserted that if you take a look at the long term future of industrial air travel in India, it is as amazing as throughout the world .

In a video call, Mr Dube said the Indian air travel pie is growing and the idea of Akasa Air is to check out what we are currently dealing with.

This is momentary.

This too shall pass .

The civil air travel space, specifically the airline companies, has been substantially affected by the pandemic and as the development of the Omicron variant has actually dealt another blow to the recovery course of the sector.Akasa Air, which will take off as an inexpensive provider, has actually put an order for 72 Boeing 737 MAX airplanes, which are fuel efficient.To start with, Akasa Air will have services from cities to Tier II and III cities.

There will also be flights from cities to cities so that the aircraft is walked around the system, Mr Dube noted.Being professionally-managed, competitive cost structure, client satisfaction, staff members being happy and airline company being financially healthy will be among the crucial elements for Akasa Air.

We want to get our first airplane in the second half of April, the very first industrial flight in late May or early June ...

we are working with the federal government, DGCA to go through all of the requirements that exist, he said.Mr Dube, who is also the founder and managing director, said the airline has begun working with people, establishing technology, producing processes and procedures, defining things associated with customer worth and proposal and preparation path network with airports.Currently, the provider has more than 50 staff.

Part of the reason we are bullish about aviation is that couple of individuals have traditionally flown in India compared to the majority of Western economies.

All of that is going to alter in the coming years and we want to belong to that modification.

We want to enable that modification and continue to democratise flight, Mr Dube said.And global services are very much part of Akasa Air's future strategies.

Mr Dube said the airline company targets to start abroad flights in the 2nd half of fiscal year 2023 once there are 20 aircrafts in its fleet.Under Indian regulations, a domestic airline company needs to have at least 20 aircraft in its fleet prior to it can begin global flights.

Boeing 737 MAX gives us good range.

We can fly to Southeast Asia, SAARC nations, Middle East ...

That is our objective, he said.Last year, Akasa Air, a brand name of SNV Air travel, put an order for 737 MAX airplanes with Boeing.

The order was valued at almost $9 billion at sale price and includes 737-8 and high-capacity 737-8-200 aircraft.On what will be the selling proposition for the airline, he stated, you got to be dependable and in his words, the function of technology and analytics will be massive.Further, he kept in mind that data and analytics are not just linked to cost structure but are likewise extremely important even for client service offerings, business aspects, revenue generation elements.

...

we are going to make sure queue times are low, good sort of consumer experience ...
