43 Pilots resign from Akasa Air as 600-700 flights are grounded due to turbulence
One of India's newest airlines, Akasa Air, got itself into trouble when it made an astonishing discovery in front of the Delhi High Court. The airline acknowledged that it may have to slash 600–700 flights from its September schedule. 43 pilots abruptly resigned without giving their required notice periods, which set off this issue. Despite being only 13 months old, Akasa Air has been dealing with an unprecedented level of emergency, requiring them to halt their aircraft and causing numerous passengers' travel plans to be disrupted.
As a result, the airline has firmly adopted a legal approach, seeking the requisite sanctions against the abruptly departing pilots as well as about Rs 22 crore in compensation to make up for the significant revenue losses brought on by the rash of canceled flights. It's important to note that Akasa Air's reputation has suffered significantly as a result of the airline receiving numerous complaints from irate customers. Air India Express has also come under fire from the struggling carrier for allegedly luring away its pilots. It's interesting to note that a number of former Akasa pilots have backed up these assertions by saying they prefer Air India Express, particularly due to the latter's Boeing 737 fleet.

Some of the departing Akasa pilots have expressed worries that the airline violated contractual obligations by changing their pay structure, heightening the intrigue. Akasa Air, which recently celebrated the introduction of its 20th aircraft and its newfound eligibility to run foreign routes, is feeling the effects of this unanticipated loss of talent.
