According to the study, Akasa Air halted service between June and October on a number of routes, including Ahmedabad-Kochi, Ahmedabad-Hyderabad, Ahmedabad-Pune, Bengaluru-Hyderabad, Bengaluru-Chennai, Kochi-Hyderabad, Goa-Lucknow, and Goa-Hyderabad.

A spokesperson for Akasa Air stated that the airline had optimized its network to ensure that it provided the best levels of “operational reliability” to its customers. We have chosen to fly less and provide a more dependable network to our clients in the short term because we are still committed to being dependable. These limitations are just temporary.
