Statement by Vinay Dube, Founder and CEO, Akasa Air on the Union Budget 2025

‘’The Union Budget 2025 marks a significant step in supporting the sustained growth of India’s aviation
sector. We commend the government’s commitment to infrastructure which will make air travel more
accessible, thereby boosting tourism and the economy on the whole.

Aligned with the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047, this focus on aviation strengthens India’s position as a
global hub, ensuring greater mobility for all and contributing to a more connected, inclusive nation.

As India’s fastest-growing airline, we applaud the government’s continued efforts to fuel the sector’s
growth and make air travel accessible to a greater number of Indians.’’
