A brand-new airline, Akasa Air, will soon enable passengers to bring their pets along. Booking for the same will begin on October 15, and the first Akasa Air trip with animal passengers is scheduled to depart on November 1. Pets are already permitted on board Air India, Jet Airways, SpiceJet, and Vistara flights, although IndiGo and Air Asia do not, unless the pet is a service animal, such as a guide dog for a blind person.

By the end of March 2023, Akasa Air’s fleet size will be 18 aircraft, and over the following four years, the airline will add another 54 aircraft, bringing its overall fleet size to 72 aircraft, it stated.

On August 7, the airline began operations with a flight from the financial centre to Ahmedabad, supported by the late stock market investor Rakesh Jhunjhunwala and aviation industry veteran Vinay Dube. Since then, it has added routes to Chennai, Kochi, and Bengaluru.
