Air India Express Expands Routes, Now Connecting 51 Destinations Including Bangkok, Dimapur, and Patna

Air India Express has crossed a significant milestone, expanding its network to 51 destinations across India, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia. The airline will launch direct flights connecting Pune and Surat to Bangkok starting December 20, 2024. With introductory Xpress Lite fares starting at ₹6,500 for Pune-Bangkok and ₹7,500 for Surat-Bangkok, Air India Express aims to tap into the growing demand for travel between India and Thailand. These new routes also mark a strategic push to enhance connectivity from emerging economic hubs in India.

Further expanding its domestic presence, Air India Express will introduce direct flights to Dimapur and Patna. Beginning January 2025, Dimapur will benefit from daily flights to Guwahati, a crucial hub for northeast India, while Patna will gain daily connections to Bengaluru and Hyderabad. These moves are part of the airline’s strategy to strengthen regional links and foster economic growth.

In Dimapur, this expansion is expected to provide essential connectivity to larger metropolitan cities, benefiting both business travelers and tourists. The new services will create valuable one-stop connections to major cities like Delhi, ensuring improved access to national and international destinations for this rapidly growing market.
