Akasa Air is set to begin a major new chapter with the launch of its first flights from Navi Mumbai International Airport on 25th December 2025. The airline will directly connect four major Indian cities—Delhi, Goa, Kochi, and Ahmedabad—marking an important expansion in India’s rapidly growing aviation network. Bookings for these flights are already available through the Akasa Air website, mobile app, and leading travel partners, making it easy for travellers to plan their journeys.
This development positions Akasa Air as one of the first airlines to operate from NMIA, reinforcing its ambition to build a network that is strong, modern, and future-ready. The early entry into this new airport highlights the airline’s confidence in India’s aviation infrastructure and its strategy of increasing accessibility for passengers across regions.
According to Praveen Iyer, Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer of Akasa Air, launching operations from NMIA represents a major milestone for the airline. He emphasised that NMIA will play a crucial role in supporting a dual-airport system for Mumbai, boosting connectivity, reliability, and travel options. This move further strengthens Akasa Air’s footprint across western India while opening doors to new customer segments.
Akasa Air plans to scale operations significantly from NMIA, aiming for 300 domestic and 50 international departures every week. The airline is also preparing to grow its presence across more bases, targeting a total of ten parking hubs by FY2027. Alongside domestic expansion, Akasa is planning international growth into the Middle East and Southeast Asia, supporting India’s rising global travel demand.
With these strategic expansions, Akasa Air is expected to become a strong player on India’s busiest air routes. The airline is focused on long-term growth, improved connectivity, and a smoother passenger experience, aligning with the country’s broader aviation development goals.
