Yogi Adityanath, the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, honoured Akasa Air’s arrival into the state in front of Vinay Dube, the company’s founder and CEO, and his staff.
“Uttar Pradesh is one of the top states in domestic tourism and tourist mobility in India,” Adityanath said in response to the start of the inaugural flight from the region.

With the inclusion of Lucknow as the newest location to its network, Akasa Air has reiterated its commitment to connecting metro areas to Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, facilitating connection to Mumbai and Bengaluru. The airline’s Lucknow operations will serve the increasing demand for travel out of the city while providing its distinctively friendly and trustworthy service to customers at the most reasonable costs.
Goa was recently added to Akasa Air’s network as the airline’s 12th destination. In January 2023, three daily flights between Goa and Bengaluru and two between Goa and Mumbai are planned. The airline’s operations in the state would be made easier by the recently opened Manohar International Airport (Mopa).
