Mumbai: Rakesh Jhunjhunwala promoted budget carrier Akasa Air is all set to hit the skies with its maiden commercial flight on August 7, starting with Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, and Kochi with two Boeing 737 Max aircraft, the company announced Friday.

In the initial week, Akasa Air will offer 28 weekly flights between Mumbai and Ahmedabad starting August 7.

Starting August 13, the airline will start operating an additional 28 weekly flights between Bengaluru and Kochi.

All flights are open for sale with immediate effect, the company said.
