A group of pilots from Akasa Air has written to India's Civil Aviation Ministry, seeking an investigation into the airline’s hiring practices, rostering issues, and operational lapses. In their letter, addressed to Civil Aviation Minister K. Rammohan Naidu, Civil Aviation Secretary, and Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the pilots raised serious concerns regarding the airline’s internal operations.

In the aftermath of a widely circulated video capturing passengers dining on the tarmac at Mumbai airport, the Civil Aviation Ministry has imposed significant fines on IndiGo and the airport authorities. IndiGo faces a penalty of ₹1.20 crore, while Mumbai Airport is fined ₹90 lakh.
