Akasa Air Secured 1M+ Lines of Code with CodeAnt AI
Problem
Akasa Air’s fast-growing GitHub ecosystem lacked unified, continuous security and code quality coverage across 1M+ lines of mission-critical aviation code.
Solution
CodeAnt AI became the always-on Code Health layer inside GitHub — automating SAST, IaC, SCA, secrets detection, and quality enforcement across every service without slowing developers down.

About Akasa Air
Akasa Air’s engineering division powers digital systems for flight operations, crew management, pricing, and customer experience, it’s all built on distributed GitHub repositories.
To maintain speed, quality, and safety while scaling, the team needed AI-driven reviews, automated security checks, and faster feedback loops, without disrupting workflows.
How CodeAnt AI Transformed Akasa Air
Akasa Air adopted CodeAnt AI as their unified Code Health Platform across all GitHub repositories.
The Challenge Before AI
Before CodeAnt AI, Akasa Air struggled with:
Fragmented tools and inconsistent scanning coverage across teams
Vulnerabilities, secrets, and misconfigurations caught late in the cycle
No centralized dashboard for leadership to assess security posture
Pressure to meet aviation-grade compliance standards
Growing codebase with no automated risk detection
The result: blind spots, manual checks, and slower delivery.
The AI Breakthrough
CodeAnt AI became the always-on code security engine across Akasa Air.
SAST Security: Flagged insecure patterns, SQL risks, unsafe APIs, missing validations
IaC Security: Detected K8s/Docker/YAML misconfigs — privilege escalation, missing limits, root user, weak security rules
SCA Scanning: Surfaced critical/high CVEs across Python, Node, Java with fix suggestions
Secrets Detection: Caught hard-coded secrets, AWS keys, and credentials instantly
Code Quality Checks: Identified dead code, duplicates, anti-patterns, missing documentation
Risk Funnels: Provided leadership a clear view of where security & quality risks concentrated across services
Outcome
Akasa Air now uses CodeAnt AI as their system of record for Code Health, covering security, quality, and dependency risk across mission-critical aviation systems.
The combination of:
Automated SAST
Deep IaC scanning
Continuous dependency vulnerability checks
Secrets monitoring
Quality enforcement
GitHub-native workflows
has transformed their engineering posture.
CodeAnt AI now powers Akasa Air’s platform engineering stack and supports their enterprise expansion, including the Air India deal cycle.
