Air India Express to introduce new routes, increase fleet size

Air India Express, the budget-carrier arm of Air India, is embarking on a significant expansion by increasing its fleet size and introducing new routes, as passenger growth remains robust.

The airline, however, has deferred plans to launch direct flights between Kolkata and Dhaka,



citing the ongoing political crisis in Bangladesh.

“You would recall we had announced our operational plan for Dhaka, which is a new and significant market for us. But because of the situation there, we have deferred those plans,” Aloke Singh, Managing Director of Air India Express, said.
