Akasa Air will increase pilots' salaries by up to 20% from January 1, 2027, while raising minimum protected flying hours to 50 per month and increasing annual leave to 42 days, according to a PTI report and other sources. The airline will also introduce new work patterns, including the 25/9 and 6-2-6-3 schedules, and expand benefits under its Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP).
The changes apply to over 800 pilots and come as Akasa Air operates 45 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft and plans to establish new pilot bases in Kochi and Kolkata, adding to its existing bases in Bengaluru and Mumbai. The airline launched operations in August 2022 and is expanding its network, including new flights to Jaipur and Udaipur.
