AkasaAir Pilot Dispute: Akasa Air got a big relief from the Bombay High Court on Wednesday regarding five pilots who left the airline without serving their notice periods. The Bombay HC rules that it has jurisdiction to entertain the suit filed by AkasaAir seeking damages from pilots.

Justice SM Modak observed that part of the cause of action had arisen within the jurisdiction of the Bombay High Court as AkasaAir accepted the resignations (with conditions) in Mumbai.

The court allowed the leave petition filed by AkasaAir and posted the matter for considering the grant of interim reliefs on October 4, 2023.
