Akasa Air has launched daily direct flights between Kozhikode (Calicut) and Mumbai. The inaugural service took off on 1st October 2025, departing from Kozhikode International Airport at 19:55 hrs and arriving at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in Mumbai at 21:40 hrs. This new route strengthens the airline’s presence in Kerala and improves access to the Malabar region for both leisure and business travellers.
Since entering Kerala in 2022, Akasa Air has steadily expanded its operations in the state. The airline now runs 28 weekly departures from Kochi and Kozhikode, connecting Kerala to Mumbai, Bengaluru, Jeddah, and Abu Dhabi. This growth, achieved in less than three years, reflects Akasa’s strategy of building connectivity through new routes and higher frequencies. Kerala remains a key market in its nationwide network.
The launch of the new route was marked with a ceremonial event at Kozhikode International Airport. Akasa Air representatives, airport leadership, and senior government officials attended the celebration. A ceremonial lamp was lit, and the first passenger on the inaugural flight was presented with a special boarding pass, adding a personal touch to the milestone occasion.
Akasa Air has rapidly positioned itself as a customer-focused airline. Its youthful personality, empathetic approach, and employee-friendly culture distinguish it in India’s competitive aviation sector. The airline’s new fleet features comfortable seating with ample legroom, USB charging ports, and a host of passenger-friendly innovations that enhance the flying experience.
Onboard, travellers enjoy Café Akasa, a thoughtfully curated meal service offering healthy, festive, and unique options such as Kombucha, making the dining experience distinct. The airline also provides more than 25 ancillary products, including Akasa GetEarly, Seat & Meal Deal, Extra Seat, and Akasa Holidays, giving passengers unmatched flexibility and personalisation in their journey.
With industry-first features like SkyScore, SkyLights, and QuietFlights, Akasa Air continues to enhance the cabin experience. The new Kozhikode–Mumbai route complements its Kochi operations and underlines its long-term commitment to Kerala. By combining reliability, affordability, and innovation, Akasa Air is reinforcing its role as a preferred airline for millions of travellers across India.
