Air India Express, low -cost Air India, projected 50% for passengers who flew in the financial year of 2026, according to its CEO ALOKE SINGHA total at 30 million.
The airline remodeled approximately 20 million passengers in the financial year of 2025, witnessing growth by 19%. In the same year he added 37 aircraft and increased its fleet size to a total of 103 aircraft and strengthened its network of routes by adding nine destinations to achieve a total of 53 destinations. The total routes rose from 140 to 210. Aircraft additions included 25 Boeing 737 Max 8 and 12 A320 converted from Air India.
Until the privatization of Air India in January 2022, Air India Express flew only on international routes mainly from Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh to the Gulf countries. After joining Tata Fold and its merger with Airasia India, however, the airline has reworked into a domestic airline focusing on the connection of levels-2 and levels-3 with Delhi, Mumbai and Bengalur, as well as short-term international destinations in common foreign destinations.
The rapid expansion of the fleet has so far partially caused by the easily available Boeing 737 Max after some Chinese airlines have been delayed by the adoption of aircraft, which ordered an Air India Express in the last two years 41 out of 50 max. 26 A320 from the former Air Asia India joined the airline as part of the merger.
With these increments, the upcoming summer season, which will be effective on March 29, will see Air India Express to increase their home and international weekly departures by 40%because last summer they grow to 3,684 week departures compared to 2,623.
The airline has a one -way Codeshare with Air India, which allows this latter to sell destinations serving Air India Express to its passengers, including those flying from Europe and the US
In order to expand the selection of international destinations offered to their passengers, the airline also closed a virtual international partnership with six international cheap carriers, including Scoot Air, Jazeera Air and Air Arabia.
The airline will also perform exercises to ensure the configuration of seats for all economies across the aircraft via FY2026. Currently, it has a combination of cabin configurations, which include trading class seats on 41 Boeing 737 Max aircraft as well as premium economic seats on some aircraft transmitted from Air India.
