The Indian low-cost-carrier Akasa Air has grounded hundreds of pilots after the number of Boeing 737 MAX deliveries slowed in 2024. 

According to the publication The Hindu, around 400 individuals out of 850 pilots are currently grounded, with only 60% currently needed to fly its fleet of 26 aircraft. 

The Hindu reported that post-joining training had already been extended by six months from a year, and there are concerns among recruits that this will be stretched further still.
