Akasa Air Pilots Flag Concerns Over 'Unfair Practices', Airline Responds

In a letter dated December 11, the pilots sought an independent probe into the airline's management practices, training methods, and safety standards.

A section of Akasa Air pilots has raised concerns about alleged training and safety issues at the airline and sought the intervention of the civil aviation ministry, while the carrier termed the allegations as untrue.

Akasa Air, which has been flying for over two years, had faced pilot issues earlier also, and this time, the section of the pilots has also claimed that 84 pilots have resigned on one-day notice.

"We categorically deny these allegations as baseless and untrue. Nor do they represent the views of Akasa pilots," an airline spokesperson said in a statement on Saturday.
