In addition to the special flights, passengers flying with Akasa Air will be able to access SkyScore, the airline’s inflight service that allows guests to follow live match scores during their journey. The airline will also activate SkyLights, its Boeing Sky Interior-powered cabin lighting feature, with tricolour-themed lighting on selected flights associated with the event.

Akasa Air currently operates scheduled flights to Ahmedabad from nine domestic and international destinations. Through these additional services, the airline aims to strengthen connectivity to the city while providing greater flexibility and convenience for travellers during a period of heightened demand.
