They have claimed that Akasa Air's vice president Capt. Floyd Gracious has brought in his associates from Jet Airways and placed them in key positions of power.

These allegations were detailed in an email sent on Thursday (Jan 9) to aviation minister Rammohan Naidu Kinjarapu, seeking his intervention.

The letter was also sent to Director General of Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) Faiz Ahmed Kidwai and Secretary of the Ministry of Civil Aviation Vumlunmang Vualnam.
