Akasa Air on Tuesday commenced commercial operations from Noida International Airport (NIA), becoming one of the first carriers to launch services from the greenfield airport and further strengthening its presence in the National Capital Region (NCR), the airline said in a release.
The airline launched flights connecting Noida with Navi Mumbai, with the inaugural service departing Navi Mumbai International Airport at 7:25 am and landing at Noida at 9:35 am. The return flight departed Noida at 10:15 am and arrived in Navi Mumbai at 12:30 pm.
The move marks a significant milestone in Akasa Air’s network expansion strategy as it seeks to deepen its footprint in one of India’s largest aviation markets while capitalising on emerging airport infrastructure.
“The commencement of operations from Noida International Airport marks an important milestone in Akasa Air’s growth journey,” said Anand Srinivasan, co-founder and chief commercial officer at Akasa Air.
“As one of India’s newest aviation gateways, the airport offers significant opportunities to enhance connectivity for travellers across the National Capital Region and neighbouring states,” he said.
Srinivasan added that the airline’s early presence at Noida aligns with its long-term strategy of building a strong network across key growth markets while supporting the development of modern aviation infrastructure.
