Air India Express Boosts Connectivity With Six New Daily Flights

Air India Express is expanding its reach with six new daily flights, enhancing its domestic network significantly.

The new routes connect Chennai with Bhubaneswar, Bagdogra, and Thiruvananthapuram, while Kolkata gains new flights to Varanasi and Guwahati. The Guwahati-Jaipur route is a unique addition, exclusively operated by the airline.

Five of these routes are brand new additions to the airline’s expanding network. The Guwahati-Jaipur flight is an exclusive service offered by Air India Express.
