Akasa Air's financial year ending March 2024 witnessed a significant widening of losses to Rs 1,670.06 crore. This comes despite a notable increase in total income to Rs 3,144.38 crore, reflecting the challenges faced by the burgeoning airline industry.

In its foundational years, Akasa Air, which began operations in August 2022, has invested heavily in areas such as their fleet, network, and operational infrastructure.
