Akasa Air is set to begin operations from Noida International Airport, with direct daily flights to Bengaluru and Navi Mumbai from June 16, 2026, the airline said.
The new routes are expected to strengthen connectivity between the National Capital Region (NCR) and two of India’s major economic centres. Tickets are now available for booking through the airline’s website, mobile app, and leading online travel portals.
The move marks a key step in the airline’s network expansion strategy as Noida International Airport prepares to begin operations as one of India’s newest greenfield airports. The airport is expected to help ease congestion in the Delhi NCR airspace, improve regional connectivity, and support economic activity across western Uttar Pradesh and the wider NCR region.
Anand Srinivasan, Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer of Akasa Air, said: “As India’s aviation market expands, capacity creation at the right infrastructure nodes will be key to sustaining growth. With its modern infrastructure, multimodal connectivity, and long-term capacity potential, Noida International Airport will transform access to NCR.”
“We are pleased to be among the first airlines to establish operations at the airport enabling us to build early relevance, optimise network flows, and scale capacity with demand. Daily direct connectivity with Bengaluru and Navi Mumbai are anchored in strong origin-destination demand as well as onward connectivity potential.”
Akasa Air said it plans to gradually expand both domestic and international services from Noida International Airport as part of its long-term growth plans and focus on high-potential aviation hubs.
The airline will also establish a maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility at the airport, aimed at supporting a wide range of aircraft maintenance operations while strengthening operational efficiency and safety standards.
