Travel is a transformative and enriching experience that allows individuals to explore new destinations, cultures, and landscapes
Air India Express has teamed with FareHawker, a leading aviation group booking platform, to improve and streamline the group travel booking experience for customers. This alliance intends to give travel agents and corporate clients with more effective solutions for managing bulk bookings, including increased transparency, speedier confirmations, and attractive group pricing. Air India Express will be able to better meet the growing need for group travel in industries such as tourism, business, and religious pilgrimages by leveraging Fare Hawker's innovative technology and committed assistance.
The cooperation is designed to increase Air India Express's market position in the low-cost carrier segment by increasing consumer convenience and operational efficiency. FareHawker's digital platform will seamlessly interface with the airline's systems, enabling real-time availability, fare comparisons, and end-to-end administration of group travel needs. This initiative is consistent with Air India Express' overall digital transformation plan, which aims to improve service delivery across all consumer touchpoints.
Air India Express was founded in 2005 as a low-cost subsidiary of Air India to meet the rising demand for economical international travel, particularly among Indian expats in the Gulf region.
First Flight: On April 29, 2005, the airline's inaugural flight from Thiruvananthapuram (Trivandrum) to Abu Dhabi marked the start of its short-haul international operations.
Air India Express was founded primarily to service Middle Eastern and Southeast Asian destinations, with a concentration on Kerala and other southern Indian cities with substantial populations of overseas workers.
Since 2022, Air India Express has been a part of the Tata Group's aviation ecosystem, with ambitions for fleet expansion, digital transformation, and improved customer experience.
Merger with AIX Connect: Following the privatisation of Air India, the Tata Group began combining its aviation subsidiaries. Air India Express is in the midst of merging with AIX Connect (previously AirAsia India) to form a new, stronger low-cost carrier under the Air India brand.
Air India Express offers low-cost international travel, particularly between India and destinations in the Middle East and Southeast Asia. It mostly serves Indian expatriates, workers, and budget-conscious travellers.
The airline's point-to-point network eliminates hubs and layovers, resulting in reduced travel times and greater convenience, particularly from Tier 2 and Tier 3 locations in India.
The airline's single-type fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft ensures efficient operations, lowering maintenance costs and improving schedule flexibility.
Air India Express's aircraft livery reflects Indian culture, tradition, and landmarks, creating a visually recognisable and culturally rich fleet.
Air India Express provides complimentary hot meals on foreign flights, as well as optional value-added services including extra baggage, seat selection, and onboard shopping.
