Air India Express

Air India Express inducted its first custom-configured Boeing 737-8 aircraft, the fifty-first in its fleet, marking the first delivery from its order of 140 Boeing aircraft and supporting its fleet modernisation programme

Air India Express organised a Christmas joy flight for 150 children from Masti Ki Pathshala, Jamshedpur, in collaboration with the Tata Steel Foundation, offering many of them their first-ever flying experience

Air India Express will commence weekly non-stop flights between Varanasi and Bangkok from February 1, 2026, strengthening international connectivity from Uttar Pradesh and expanding access to Thailand

Indian airlines report steady progress on the Airbus A320 software fix, with IndiGo, Air India and Air India Express maintaining stable operations and minimal disruption. All carriers expect to complete the mandatory upgrade by November 30, 2025

The airline will connect Nagpur to Bengaluru with twice-daily services from December 1 and add new flights to Abu Dhabi from Delhi and Pune from December 2

This expansion connecting the cities with Bengaluru and Delhi increases Air India Express's presence in Rajasthan to over 105 weekly flights across the state

The campaign comes at a defining moment for the airline, which now connects 60 destinations across the Middle East, Southeast Asia and South Asia, with an impressive fleet of 115 aircraft, including 50 brand-new planes

Direct flights to Jeddah will particularly meet demand for Umrah travel, while improved links to Riyadh and Kuwait will support VFR traffic and leisure travellers exploring Saudi Arabia’s growing tourism landscape

As Phu Quoc currently has no direct connectivity from India, the new service will reduce travel time from around eight hours via connecting routes to just five hours, making the island far more accessible for Indian holidaymakers

These additions will strengthen access between the capital and a mix of cultural, historical, and fast-growing regional centres. Bookings are now open via the airline’s website, mobile app, and major booking platforms
