Indian airline Akasa Air is set to place a "three-digit" aircraft order by the end of the year as it enjoys a solid cash position following its inaugural year of operations. Akasa has 19 planes available, with a 20th due to be inducted this month. It already has orders in place for 80 more planes across Boeing and Airbus. Founder and CEO Vinay Dube is backing sustainable growth and is bullish on plans to offer international gateways that provide industry-leading customer service by March 2027.
