Read on to find out more about Akasa Air’s new routes and what travelers can expect from this innovative airline.
Akasa Air: Making Air Travel Inclusive and Affordable
Akasa Air was established with a mission to make air travel inclusive and affordable. The airline is committed to delivering exceptional service and quality products, redefining air travel with its warm and reliable service. This approach has already garnered a positive response from travelers in India and Doha. By expanding to Jeddah, Akasa Air aims to extend its unique flying experience to more travelers on these routes.
Surge in Indian Visitors to Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia saw a significant 50% increase in Indian visitors in 2023. The new direct flights from Mumbai and Ahmedabad to Jeddah will play a crucial role in helping Saudi Arabia achieve its goal of hosting 7.5 million Indian visitors by 2031. This move not only strengthens the connectivity between the two regions but also encourages cultural and economic exchanges.
Enhancing Travel Experience with Akasa Air
Neelu Khatri, Co-Founder and SVP International at Akasa Air expresses the airline’s excitement about this expansion: “We are thrilled to bring the Akasa experience to Jeddah, our second destination in the Middle East. Jeddah’s unique mix of commerce, heritage, and culture, along with its beautiful Red Sea coastline, attracts a diverse range of travelers from India.”
Belson Coutinho, Co-Founder and Chief Marketing and Experience Officer highlights the airline’s customer-centric approach: “Our customers are at the heart of everything we do. Travelers on these new routes can look forward to an exceptional flying experience with our inflight dining service Café Akasa, spacious cabins, and in-seat charging facilities. Our innovative offerings, like Skyscore by Akasa and QuietFlights, will further enhance their journey.”
Strengthening Bilateral Ties and Tourism
Praveen Iyer, Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer emphasizes the strategic importance of these connections: “Linking Jeddah with Mumbai and Ahmedabad caters to a variety of tourists and fosters bilateral trade and tourism. As India’s leader in on-time performance, we are committed to expanding our global footprint while maintaining the highest standards of safety and reliability.”
Expanding Footprint in the Middle East
With the successful launch of operations in Doha in March 2024, adding Jeddah to Akasa Air’s network solidified its presence in the Middle East. The airline has also been granted traffic rights for Kuwait and Riyadh and plans to rapidly expand its footprint in the region in the coming months.
Conclusion
Akasa Air’s expansion into Jeddah marks a significant milestone in its journey to become one of the world’s top 30 airlines by the end of the decade. With a focus on customer satisfaction, reliability, and affordability, Akasa Air continues to redefine air travel and connect people, places, and cultures across the globe.
