Air Express Flight India

Air-India Express is a low-cost airline subsidiary of Air India based in Mumbai, India. It operates services mainly to the Middle East and Southeast Asia. The airline is now part of the National Aviation Company of India Limited, which was formed in order to facilitate the seamless merger of Air India and Indian Airlines.

History

The airline was established in May 2004 and started operations on 29 April 2005 with a flight from Thiruvananthapuram to Abu Dhabi. Delivery of the first aircraft for Air-India Express took place on 22 February 2005 when a new production Boeing 737-86Q (leased from Boullioun Aviation Services) was handed over. The airline has plans for expansion into Europe and The Americas with the arrival of new aircraft.

The airline has been making huge profits on most routes. But after seeing Air India Express' success, many other carriers such as Air Arabia and Jazeera Airways have entered the India - Persian Gulf market and many others such as JetLite might enter
