Akasa Air ne ye strategic move isliye kiya hai taaki woh apne fleet ko finance karne ke liye funds India mein hi arrange kar sake. GIFT City mein setup hone se, Akasa Air Leasing IFSC Pvt Ltd company ke liye aircraft financing aur leasing ko domestic level par handle karegi. Isse na sirf international hubs par reliance kam hoga, balki fleet acquisition costs bhi manage karna aasan ho jayega.
GIFT City Ke Fayde?
GIFT City ko isliye choose kiya gaya hai kyuki yahan aviation finance ke liye kaafi special regulatory aur tax benefits milte hain. Jaise ki lease rentals par income tax mein exemption, customs duty aur GST mein relief, aur approval processes bhi easy hain. In sab se company ko wahi financial efficiency milegi jo pehle international locations se milti thi.
Fleet Expansion Ka Plan
Akasa Air abhi 38 aircraft operate kar rahi hai aur unke paas 226 Boeing 737 MAX planes ka bada order backlog hai. Ye naya leasing entity in new aircrafts ko acquire karne ke liye zaruri financing ko manage karegi. Itni badi fleet ke liye required capital ko domestic level par handle karna airline ke liye bahut vital hai.
Competition Bhi Teh-e-Tez
Akasa Air akele nahi hai jo GIFT City ka fayda utha rahi hai. Air India aur IndiGo jaise bade airlines ne bhi yahan apne leasing units setup kiye hain. Ye industry mein ek bade shift ko dikhata hai, jahan airlines local finance hubs ki taraf aa rahi hain govt incentives ki wajah se.
Risks Kya Hain?
Par haan, is bade plan mein kuch risks bhi hain. Airline ka itne bade expansion ke liye financing par depend karna aur GIFT City ke incentives mein koi change aana, sab financing mein problem create kar sakta hai. Indian aviation sector economic slowdown, fuel price hikes aur tough competition se bhi affect ho sakta hai.
