About Air India Express
Air India Express is the low-cost arm of Air India and part of the Tata Group. It was originally created to carry passengers between Indian cities, especially in Kerala and the south, and the Gulf states, and those routes are still central to its business. After absorbing AIX Connect, the airline formerly known as AirAsia India, it also became a sizeable domestic carrier, with major bases including Bengaluru (BLR), Delhi and Mumbai. International flying is short and medium haul, mostly to the Gulf and Southeast Asia. Although its parent is a Star Alliance member, Air India Express itself is not.
Agents with clients travelling between India and the Gulf will find this airline comes up often. To look for it on IATA.co, run a live fare search in the booking portal or through the flights API, and pay from your prepaid balance. Air India Express fares appear in your search results whenever our flight suppliers offer them for your route and dates. What a fare includes varies, so check the details shown before you confirm.
