Akasa Air (airline code QP) flew its first commercial flight on 7 August 2022. This page sets out its rules for a domestic booking: which airport and terminal to expect around Delhi and Mumbai, check-in and boarding cut-offs, identity documents, baggage, fares, and the rules for infants, children and expectant mothers.
The rules are Akasa Air's own, from its website pages; the terminal lines come from the airport operators and Akasa Air's route pages. Check them with Akasa Air before you fly.
Akasa Air at Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru: airports and terminals
Akasa Air flights are recorded at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) and at Noida International Airport (DXN), and at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) and Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMI). Check which airport your booking names before you set off.
Delhi: Indira Gandhi International Airport
Delhi airport's own airline list puts Akasa Air at Terminal 1, and Akasa Air's page for its New Delhi to Mumbai route says its flights usually fly from Terminal 1. Akasa Air also tells passengers to double-check the terminal on their ticket at Delhi and Mumbai. The Terminal 1 advice is for Indira Gandhi International Airport only, not for Noida International Airport.
Mumbai: Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport
Mumbai airport's own airline list names both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 for Akasa Air. Check the terminal on your ticket before you go to the airport. Navi Mumbai International Airport is a separate airport, and this terminal advice does not apply there.
Bengaluru: Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru
Akasa Air's route page for Bengaluru to Ahmedabad says those flights operate from Terminal 1 at Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (BLR), and that Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 both handle domestic and international flights. For other Akasa Air flights from Bengaluru, check the terminal on your booking.
Akasa Air check-in, boarding and identity documents
Akasa Air's Conditions of Carriage recommend arriving at the airport at least 3 hours before the scheduled departure. A passenger who has not checked in at least 60 minutes before the scheduled departure is treated as a no-show, the tag for a checked bag is issued no later than 60 minutes before departure, and Akasa Air may deny boarding if the check-in deadlines are missed.
Akasa Air's web check-in page says web check-in is open from 48 hours up to 1 hour before departure, and the Conditions of Carriage give the same 1-hour deadline for domestic flights. The web check-in page says it is not available to unaccompanied minors, passengers who need wheelchair assistance or passengers travelling with pets.
Under the Conditions of Carriage, boarding gates close 25 minutes before the scheduled departure, and passengers must be at the gate by the time given at check-in or in any later announcement at the airport. Akasa Air says it is under no obligation to make boarding announcements at airports designated as silent airports.
For a domestic flight, the Conditions of Carriage ask for one of these documents, carried in original, as proof of identity:
- a passport
- a voter photo identity card issued by the Election Commission of India
- Aadhaar or m-Aadhaar issued by the Unique Identification Authority of India
- a PAN card issued by the Income Tax Department
- a driving licence issued by the Regional Transport Offices
- a service photo identity card issued by a State or Central Government, a public sector undertaking, a local body or a public limited company
- a student photo identity card issued by a government institution or a government-recognised educational institution
- a nationalised bank passbook with an attested photograph
- a pension card or other pension document with the passenger's photograph
- a photo identity card or medical certificate issued to a differently-abled passenger by the government of a state or union territory
The Conditions also require an unaccompanied minor to show one of these documents. The Conditions add that a passenger who has none of them can use an identity certificate issued by a Group A Gazetted Officer of the Central or State Government, on official letterhead and with the passenger's attested photograph.
Akasa Air's DigiYatra page describes the service: you register in the DigiYatra app with an Aadhaar-linked mobile number, take a selfie and add your boarding pass, then use the e-Gate at the airport entry, the e-Gate before security and the scanner at the boarding gate. Akasa Air asks that the name on the boarding pass, the flight ticket and the Aadhaar card be the same. Check the DigiYatra app before you rely on it for your flight.
