# Akasa Air to fly Bhogapuram-New Delhi daily from October 25 2026-09-24T06:36:18+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Akasa Air will launch a daily Bhogapuram-New Delhi flight on October 25, the civil aviation minister's office announced. The morning flight departs Delhi at 5.55 am and reaches Bhogapuram at 8.20 am, returning from Bhogapuram at 9.05 am to land in Delhi at 11.30 am. Minister K. Rammohan Naidu said airlines are responding to rising demand at the Alluri Sitharama Raju Airport in Bhogapuram. The new connection will serve travellers from North Andhra and the national capital. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Bhogapuram, near Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh, is undergoing rapid airport development. The Alluri Sitharama Raju Airport was built to decongest the existing Visakhapatnam airport and serve the northern districts of the state. Akasa Air, founded in 2022, is among India's youngest carriers and has been steadily expanding its regional footprint. With demand rising from the North Andhra region, the new daily connection to Delhi will cut travel time significantly compared with road or rail alternatives. The airline will need to sustain adequate occupancy on the route to maintain a daily schedule, and its booking data over the next few months will show whether the demand is strong enough for further frequency increases from other carriers too. ## Coverage - thehindu.com Tags: Akasa Air, Bhogapuram, K Rammohan Naidu, New Delhi Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/akasa-air-to-fly-bhogapuram-new-delhi-daily-from-october-25/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
