Akasa Air taps Kuwait for 5th international destination – Asian Aviation
Akasa Air has added Kuwait City as the fifth destination to its expanding global network and will operate daily direct flights between Kuwait City and Mumbai. The service will add significant passenger and cargo capacity to the route and will capture the perennial demand for VFR and business travel between India and Kuwait.
Praveen Iyer, Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer, Akasa Air said, “The addition of Kuwait adds further breadth to our international network, strengthening our position as a key player in connecting India and the Middle East. Kuwait and India have historically shared strong bilateral ties, and the launch of a direct service connecting these two major cities will open more avenues for trade and tourism between the two countries. Moreover, with this expansion, the large population of Indians in Kuwait will have greater accessibility to their home country. The connection reflects our commitment to connecting people, places, and cultures with reliable operations and affordable fares, and we look forward to welcoming travelers on board.”
