() is a
Low-cost Airline subsidiary of
Air India based in
Mumbai ,
India . It operates services mainly to the
Middle East . Its main base is
Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport , Mumbai, with a hub at
Indira Gandhi International Airport ,
Delhi 1.
The airline was established in May
2004 and started operations on
April 29 ,
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
America with the arrival of new aircraft.
With the merger of the two major state owned airlines
Indian Airlines and
Air India it is said that Air India Express subsidiary of
Air India will merge with
Alliance Air a fully owned subsidiary of
Indian Airlines . With the two mergers of Air India and Indian Airlines, their subsidiaries will also merge as well. The
Alliance Air fleet will be absorbed into the Air India Express fleet under the same name of Air India Express. Thus, there will be Air India (after Air India-Indian merger, the Airline will still be named Air India), and its subsidiary Air India Express consisting of the whole ex-Indian Airlines/Alliance Air fleet, the Air India fleet, and new aircraft orders.
Every aircraft features a different tail design that reflects a part of Indian Culture.
