Akasa Air is stepping into Southeast Asia with new daily flights to Phuket from Bangalore starting October 1, 2025, following its Mumbai–Phuket launch in September. Operated by Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, the services aim to tap into India’s rising outbound leisure demand. Positioned as a budget-friendly option for families, couples, and business travelers, the expansion strengthens India–Thailand tourism links while marking Akasa’s first major step toward international growth.
