About Air India Express
Air India Express began in 2005 as Air India's low-cost international arm, built to connect Kerala and other South Indian cities to the Gulf at affordable fares — a route it still leads today.
As part of the Tata Group's low-cost airline consolidation, AirAsia India's domestic network was folded into Air India Express through 2023–24, making it a larger combined domestic-and-international budget carrier.

Value beyond price
Compare the complete trip cost
The lowest displayed Air India Express fare is not always the lowest final cost. Compare cabin baggage, checked baggage, seat selection, meals, change conditions and payment charges for the exact route. A slightly higher fare can be better value when it includes something you would otherwise purchase separately, particularly on longer trips or itineraries with a connection.
