This Akasa Air facility has received an overwhelming response from passengers. More than 8,500 pets have availed of the service since its launch.
Carrying pets on flights has been a complex issue. While carrying one pet used to be easy, two were not permitted. Now, two pets are permitted in the cabin on Akasa Air flights. The airline has made several changes to its pet travel service, “Pets on Akasa,” to provide greater convenience to passengers and their pets.
Booking can be done 24 hours in advance
According to the information, until now, only one pet was allowed on board. However, this has now been changed. This change was made in response to increasing passenger demand and reflects the airline’s commitment to providing a quality and inclusive travel experience to all passengers.
The airline said that bookings can now be made up to 24 hours before the flight, compared to the previous 48-hour limit. This feature offered by Akasa Air has received an overwhelming response from passengers. Since its launch, more than 8,500 pets have availed of this service.
Many amenities for pets on the plane
The airline is constantly listening to passenger feedback and has made several changes recently. In May 2024, the airline introduced two significant changes: first, the maximum weight of pets carried in the cabin was increased to 10 kg (including the container) and the validity of the Pet Travel Certificate was extended by 15 days.
Service available in 24 cities
According to the information, the airline started the ‘Pets on Akasa’ service in November 2022 and is now available in 24 domestic cities, including Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Lucknow, Varanasi, Ayodhya, Sri Vijayapuram, Guwahati, Goa, Kochi, Pune, Bhubaneswar, Gwalior, Prayagraj, Srinagar, Bagdogra, Kozhikode, Darbhanga, Agartala, etc.
