Akasa Air is set to expand its international operations with the launch of direct daily flights between Bengaluru and Abu Dhabi, starting March 1, 2025. The airline’s latest route marks its growing presence in the Middle East and strengthens connectivity between India and the UAE.
The new service will operate under a codeshare agreement with Etihad Airways, providing passengers with seamless travel options and enhanced connectivity beyond Abu Dhabi. This partnership is expected to offer greater convenience for travelers flying to various global destinations through Etihad’s extensive network.
Abu Dhabi is a key business and tourism hub, attracting a significant number of Indian travelers. With the introduction of this route, Akasa Air aims to cater to the increasing demand for direct flights while offering affordable and efficient travel options. The airline has been steadily expanding its footprint since entering the Indian aviation market, and this latest addition aligns with its long-term growth strategy.
Akasa Air’s foray into international operations signals its ambition to compete with established carriers and tap into high-demand routes. The Bengaluru-Abu Dhabi route is expected to enhance economic and cultural ties between the two cities while providing travelers with more choices for international travel.
