Akasa Air added its 16th domestic destination, Bhubaneshwar (Odisha) as a part of its robust domestic network expansion plan. The airline has commenced direct flights to two destinations – Bengaluru and Pune from Bhubaneshwar with a total of 14 weekly flights.
Commenting on the opening of new destination, Praveen Iyer, Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer of Akasa Air said: “As the fastest-growing airline in the country, we are delighted to add Bhubaneswar to our ever-expanding network, marking our arrival in Orissa. Bhubaneswar is one amongst very few cities where we commence operations with two daily direct flights to and from Bengaluru & Pune. Providing seamless connectivity at affordable fares across major cities will boost travel and tourism for the city. We look forward to adding more destinations to the flight map of the country.”
As the airline plans to receive more Boeing 737 MAX planes the airline will most likely add more destinations and routes as a part of its aggressive expansion plan.
