SpiceJet's former COO Sanjiv Kapoor reacted to the newly-released look of Rakesh Jhunjhunwala-backed Akasa Air's crew uniform, saying, "Love the sneakers!" Kapoor said, "(It) reminds me of the casual jeans and kurtis weekend uniform we had introduced at SpiceJet in 2014." He added, "Casual and fun works well for low-cost carriers (LCC). Good an Indian LCC will have it now."
