Akasa Air achieves IATA’s Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) in record time, reaffirming its commitment to safety

Akasa Air has reached a major milestone: it achieved registration under the IATA Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) program in just over three years since commencing operations. IOSA is a globally recognized benchmark for airline operational safety, covering areas such as flight operations, engineering and maintenance, cabin operations, ground handling, cargo, security, and organizational management systems.

Why this matters
- Global credibility:
IOSA registration places Akasa Air among a select group of airlines that meet the highest international safety standards.

- Record time achievement:
Most airlines take longer to complete this rigorous audit, so Akasa’s speed highlights its disciplined approach.

- Safety culture:
From day one, Akasa has emphasized a strong safety mindset, reinforced by training and continuous improvement.

- Growth trajectory:
With over 22 million passengers served since its launch in 2022, Akasa is scaling rapidly while maintaining safety excellence.

What’s next for Akasa
- Expansion: Currently operating 30 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, Akasa has placed firm orders for 226 more to support long-term growth.
- Network: It connects 26 domestic and 6 international destinations, including Doha, Jeddah, Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Kuwait City, and Phuket.
- Sustainability: Its fleet is among the youngest and greenest in India, with quieter cabins and reduced emissions.

This achievement not only strengthens Akasa’s reputation in India but also positions it as a serious player in the global aviation market.
