The Hindu
Akasa Air partners with Adani Airport Holdings for operations at Navi Mumbai airport, expanding to 50 domestic departures.
Low-cost carrier Akasa Air on Friday (June 6, 2025) announced a tie-up with Adani Airport Holdings to operate from the conglomerate-run Navi Mumbai airport once it begins operations in late-August.
The city-headquartered airliner will have 15 domestic departures from the airport initially, which will go up to 50 by the end of the winter schedule, its Founder and Chief Executive Vinay Dube said.
A few days ago, larger rival Indigo had announced a similar tie-up to operate from the new airport in the satellite city of Navi Mumbai.
Dube said the carrier is not looking at consolidating its presence at the new airport, which is being built at an investment of ₹20,000 crore.
The company will operate both from the existing Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, which is also run by the Adani group, and also the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport, Dube said.
Starting flights from the new airport will take the daily departures from the country's financial capital to over 80, he said.
About 60% of the passenger catchment for both the airports is the same, Dube said, stressing that there exists a wide range of catchment which will be unique for the new airport.
