Akasa Air, a prominent airline, has announced that it is pursuing legal action against a specific group of pilots who abruptly left their positions without serving the required notice period. This exodus of pilots resulted in a significant number of flight cancellations, adversely affecting the airline’s services.

According to sources, the airline has been grappling with a pilot shortage, which has had a direct impact on its flight operations. The sudden departure of this group of pilots further exacerbated the situation, leading to widespread flight cancellations and passenger inconveniences.

In response to this challenge, an Akasa Air spokesperson issued a statement, explaining the airline’s stance. The spokesperson stated, “We have sought legal remedy only against a small set of pilots who abandoned their duties and left without serving their mandatory contractual notice period.”

The airline emphasized that such actions not only breach contractual agreements but also violate the civil aviation regulations of the country. The airline decried these actions as illegal and unethical, causing considerable disruption to its flight schedule in August. This disruption resulted in last-minute flight cancellations, leaving thousands of passengers stranded and inconvenienced.

Akasa Air, which commenced its operations in August 2022 and currently operates with a fleet of 20 aircraft, highlighted the importance of upholding contracts and adhering to aviation regulations to maintain the integrity of the aviation industry. The airline expressed its commitment to taking legal action against those who fail to fulfill their contractual obligations.

The situation underscores the challenges faced by airlines in maintaining operational consistency amidst an ongoing pilot shortage, while also emphasizing the need for adherence to contractual obligations in the aviation sector.
