Akasa's growth plans still on track

The airline says its growth plans are still on track, even after Khatri's exit. Fresh funding from Premji Invest and Claypond Capital (secured in August 2025) is helping fuel expansion.
Right now, Akasa runs over 1,000 flights every week across 24 cities in India and six international spots with a fleet of 30 Boeing 737 MAX jets.
