Akasa Air Has a New Ancillary Service: Visa Assistance

With an increasing number of regional players entering the aviation industry, Akasa has figured out its differentiator - more ancillary services integrated into its website.

Budget airline Akasa Air has introduced visa services as part of its ancillary services. For this, the carrier has partnered with visa solutions provider Udaan India to provide personalized and end-to-end visa assistance.

The company has integrated the service with its website. In a statement, the airline said that the service will allow business and leisure travelers to apply for visas to over 100 countries digitally.

“The service provides access to a team of professionals for tailored assistance in navigating the intricacies of visa processing, ensuring accurate documentation, timely submissions, and efficient follow-ups,” the airline said. It said that the entire process from registration to the final approval will be facilitated. Customers will also be able to track their application in real time.

Akasa has also announced an introductory limited-period discount of 20% on visa fees for its service.

Akasa’s Focus on Ancillary Services: Last month, Akasa said that it was expanding its ancillary services portfolio to drive revenue. This was a key focus for the airline in the 2025 financial year, and it now offers 25 ancillary products.

The add-on services offered by Akasa range from basics such as seat selection, extra seats, meals, excess baggage, and priority travel, to traveling with pets, getting an earlier flight, holiday packages, hotels, car rentals, and now, visa services. These services, Akasa said, are helping generate additional revenue for the company and allowing the airline to build a diversified revenue stream.&
