This Indian airline now offers visa assistance for international travellers

In a move to streamline international travel for Indian flyers, Akasa Air has partnered with Udaan India to launch a comprehensive visa assistance service. The initiative, announced in August 2025, aims to simplify the often cumbersome visa application process for passengers flying abroad, especially first-time international travellers. Traditionally, concierge-style services like visa assistance have been offered by premium or legacy airlines. Akasa Air, a low-cost carrier, is democratising access to these services, making them available to a wider range of travellers, including those who are more cost-conscious.

The service will be available via Akasa Air’s official website and includes: end-to-end visa support for over 30 countries including the UAE, Thailand, Singapore, UK and Schengen nations; document verification and application assistance; real-time tracking of visa status; dedicated customer support through chat, call and email. The service is designed to be a hassle-free digital experience, with expert guidance, document verification and real-time tracking of applications. This aims to simplify the often-complex visa application process.

This collaboration with Udaan India — a travel solutions company known for its pan-India visa facilitation — will provide users with an intuitive, userfriendly interface to apply for tourist, business and transit visas. Customers can also opt for optional add-ons such as travel insurance, document pick-up/dropoff and appointment scheduling for consulates where required.

Akasa Air, which began its international operations earlier in 2024 with flights to Doha, Riyadh and Jeddah, continues to build its passenger-centric offerings. The visa assistance service is part of the airline’s growing ancillary services portfolio aimed at enhancing convenience and confidence for Indian travellers venturing overseas.

Travellers can now book their flights and process their visas all in one place — marking a significant step toward a seamless international flying experience. The partnership allows Akasa Air to expand its services beyond flights. Travelers can now apply for visas directly through the airline's website, creating a more holistic and convenient travel booking experience.
