Customers can fly with their pets on Akasa either in the cabin or in cargo, depending on the size of the animal. In India, only Air India previously permitted pets to fly in the cabin; all other airlines only permitted pets in the cargo hold. Recently, Akasa Air has begun to allow pets to fly in the cabin; however, it is only permitted to do so if the booking is made at least 48 hours before departure. Based on weight, the airlines have set pet prices. The pet needs a suitable cage and a medical certificate.

Like other airlines, this one allows dogs in the cargo hold. Pets between 7kg and 32kg that are checked in in the cargo area with a paying passenger will cost Rs 15,000 (GST inclusive). Moreover, costs for transporting larger dogs up to 100 kg in cargo “range based on weight and destination”.
