Akasa Air’s Stunning Plan to Dominate Skies with 226 Planes by 2032 Will Blow Your Mind!

Akasa Air is soaring to new heights, with Chief Financial Officer Ankur Goel revealing jaw-dropping plans to expand its fleet to 226 Boeing 737 MAX planes by 2032, while eyeing operational profitability soon. The nearly three-year-old airline is already boosting its financial performance, with a 49% revenue surge in FY25 and a 50% improvement in EBITDAR margins, despite industry-wide inflation.

Goel announced that Akasa’s capacity, measured in Available Seat Kilometres (ASKs), grew by a staggering 48% in FY25, driven by a 13% rise in Revenue per Available Seat Kilometre (RASK). The airline slashed its Unit Cost per Available Seat Kilometre (CASK), excluding fuel, by 7%, thanks to sharper distribution strategies and tech investments. Looking ahead, Akasa projects over 30% capacity growth in FY26 and plans to have all 775 pilots flying by March 2026.

Currently operating 30 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, Akasa aims for a 25-30% compound annual growth rate in fleet capacity over the next seven years. With 23 Boeing 737-8 (189 seats) and 7 Boeing 737-8200 (197 seats) planes in service, the airline expects Boeing 737-10 (227 seats) to join from 2027. International capacity will also climb to 25% this fiscal year, up from 16%.

Goel highlighted ancillary services, contributing 10% of revenues through over 25 products, as a key growth driver. Despite a recent Air India crash, he noted no dip in demand, emphasizing India’s aviation boom with demand (15-18%) outpacing capacity growth (8%). “This is the golden decade for Indian airlines,” Goel declared, signaling Akasa’s bold bid to lead the skies.
