Can AKASA AIR beat INDIGO and SPICEJET?

Akasa Air, a brand of SNV Aviation Private Limited, is an Indian low-cost airline headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. It was founded by Vinay Dube and Aditya Gosh. The airline began commercial operation with its first flight service from Mumbai to Ahmedabad on 7 August 2022, after receiving its first Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. The inaugural event was heavily covered by mainstream media and the Indian aviation community. The CEO of Akasa Air, Vinay Dube, stated that Akasa's goal is to have 18 aircraft by the end of 2022, and to add 12-14 aircraft per year. He also said Akasa Air's fleet size should be approximately 72 aircraft within 5 years. Dube stated that the airline will initially have services from metro cities to tier-2 and tier-3 cities, as well as operating flights to major cities across India.

This week for the very first time I travelled on Akasa from Bengaluru to Pune(Large windows are nice), I used to travel on indigo and vistara , Vistara is mostly late for 15 to 30 minutes with friendly crew and complementry meals, indigo on time service with arrogant crew, Akasa is trying hard to match standards hope it will succeed 👍

Akasa is appealing to those fliers to are flying for 1st time or those who have not flown in a few years. Akasa is doing A great job. Indian aviation market is big enough to accommodate 3 or 4 airlines

[@thomasK1409]

I travelled in almost all airlines except jet airways. I travelled in akasa too. If you ask me which airline is best then my answer is INDIGO. Indigo is most attractive airlines in India.

[@venturemindset]

Ok what do you think makes indigo best? the experience I believe?

[@thomasK1409]

@@venturemindset Actually Indigo flight is ON TIME flight. Very rarely this flight delays. And hospitality of Indigo is awesome👌🏻. I saw spicejet, airindia had dirty seats. But Indigo seats and whole aircraft always clean and posh.

[@venturemindset]

Agreed, Indigo meets timelines. Hopefully the fares will come down as akasa tried to break into market.

[@thomasK1409]

@@venturemindset Because of inflation fares definitely not going to reduce. Distance matters for fares, if you can compare 2 routes mumbai to Ahmedabad and mumbai to delhi the fares of mumbai to Ahmedabad is lesser than Mumbai to delhi. Cost is proportional to route Distance. We all need to keep this in mind. Even Akasa could not reduce fares too.

Vistara is presently best airline in India. There is no low cost airline in India on passengers prospective. All airlines charge almost same fare. So sometimes you will find that Vistara or Air India's fare is cheaper or same with Indigo. So the competition must involve all airlines.

[@venturemindset]

Yes, going to be very tough one.

[@xyz-x5dj1nw9j]

[@dogejohn5118]

[@souvikdas817]

Akasha is a short term airline. I will not fly with the Boeing 737 any variant. Indigo is the best one In my point of view 1- Ontime 2- Low cost 3- Airbus fleet which I love the most 4- Crew behaviour 5- flexibility in their slot time I don't trust any Boeing aircrafts

[@101shreejit]

TATA worked on the betterment of this country and still they are doing this whereas other big industrialists are busy filling their pockets!

[@venturemindset]

Agreed! Do you think Akasa will survive with the competition?

[@sunnyjacob7350]

When you say that big industrialists are filling their pockets, you have understand that millions of share holders are also getting a fair share of the profit. The more you invest,the more you earn. There is no point in accusing industrialists that they make huge profits. You and I can buy as many shares in these companies and get a part of the profit.

[@venturemindset]

Right, thanks for your insights

[@sunnyjacob7350]

@@venturemindset most people.get into this business because they have money and the glamor associated with this business.

Air Akasa is a 737 max. I know many of them not comfortable flying that aircraff because of previous issues.. Indigo and Air Asia is doing a great job to keep the prices competitive.

This airline business is a very tricky one. Passengers wants the cheapest fare but if the airline doesn't make a substantial profit when the going is good, they will wind up sooner than later. Almost everything related to the aircraft has to be paid in Dollars. INR is is losing value against dollar daily. Fuel and taxes is on the rise regularly. Undercutting competition to get few more bumps on the seat may look good immediately but on the long run you are digging your own grave.

somewhat disagree, but time will show - a lot millionaires had airlines as their dream projects and never worked though :)

35$ mil..40% stake is only on paper to set up company. They get loans from banks, planes are leased with full warranty. The promoters get kick back from aircraft manufacturers and other entities. Junjunwala did not invest a real dime from his pocket. He also make a fortune in Yes bank scam deal. Insider trading of stocks under investigation. They call him warren buffet of india because warren does the same, except he knew his time was up when PM visited his house….he died soon after before the scams opened wider. He himself said he has a ton of money but cannot use it to live…..the cheating and lies get to people sometime in life.
