In a move set to revolutionize domestic air travel from the national capital, Air India Express, the budget arm of the Tata Group's aviation powerhouse, announced on October 6, 2025, the launch of new flight services to seven key domestic destinations. This expansion underscores the airline's commitment to enhancing regional connectivity across India, making popular tourist and business hubs more accessible for leisure seekers, professionals, and families alike. With flights slated to take off in the coming weeks, passengers can look forward to seamless journeys to culturally rich cities and serene island escapes, all while enjoying the carrier's renowned affordability and reliability.
The new routes will connect Delhi to a diverse array of destinations, each offering unique attractions. Services to Goa (Dabolim Airport), Imphal in Manipur, Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh, and Port Blair (Sri Vijaya Puram) in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are scheduled to commence from October 26, providing early access to Goa's sun-kissed beaches, Imphal's lush valleys and historical sites, Lucknow's Nawabi heritage and kebabs, and Port Blair's pristine tropical paradise.
Following closely, flights to Amritsar in Punjab will begin on October 28, inviting travelers to explore the iconic Golden Temple and the city's vibrant Sikh culture. Rounding out the additions, routes to Jodhpur and Udaipur in Rajasthan—famed for their majestic forts, palaces, and desert landscapes—will become operational from November 1, perfectly timed for the onset of the winter travel season.
This strategic expansion aligns with Air India Express's broader growth trajectory under Tata Group's stewardship, aiming to bridge connectivity gaps in underserved regions while catering to the surging demand for domestic tourism post-pandemic. By introducing these routes, the airline not only facilitates easier access to northeastern frontiers and western heritage trails but also stimulates economic activity through increased passenger footfall. Travelers can expect the signature Air India Express experience: punctual departures, comfortable seating, and value-driven fares that make exploration affordable without compromising on quality.
