Goa has recently emerged as the manufacturing base for many leading companies in India and is a very famous tourist destination. Goa is the 12th destination on Akasa Air’s fastest-growing network. By adding Goa to its network and connecting it with Bengaluru and Mumbai, the airline displayed its commitment to strengthening India’s important transportation links.
Expanding Its Presence Pan-India
Akasa Air’s operations in Goa will help increase tourist footprints and also boost the economy while catering to travel demand. Co-founder and Chief Commercial Officer of Akasa Air, Praveen Iyer, said that the team is pleased to take off for their 12th destination. The happiness is a little extra as this comes just five months after the commercial launch. The company is on its way to creating a strong pan-India presence, with new aircraft arriving every 15 days.
The airline recently announced Hyderabad as its 13th destination in India. It will be offering daily flights on the Hyderabad-Goa and Hyderabad-Bengaluru routes, commencing January 25.
