Strengthening its presence further in Maharashtra, Air India Express inaugurated its operations in Nagpur. The airline now operates twice-daily flights between Nagpur and Bengaluru, its largest hub, enhancing connectivity and offering greater convenience to travellers. To commemorate the occasion, a special ceremony was held at Nagpur’s Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport, where the first guests received a celebratory boarding pass.
Speaking about the launch, Aloke Singh, Managing Director, Air India Express, said, “With the commencement of operations at Nagpur alongside our upcoming launch from the new Navi Mumbai International Airport, we are further strengthening our presence across Maharashtra. These additions reinforce our focus on enhancing connectivity between non-metro cities and our major hubs, particularly Bengaluru, which remains our key domestic hub. This expanded network enables guests to enjoy seamless one-stop access across India, the Gulf, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. As we scale our network, we look forward to welcoming more travellers to ‘Xplore More, and Xpress More’ with Air India Express.”
From Nagpur, the airline offers one-stop connectivity to 29 domestic destinations and seven international destinations. Across Maharashtra, Air India Express operates over 130 weekly direct flights from Mumbai and over 90 weekly direct flights from Pune. The airline will also begin direct flights from Navi Mumbai to Bengaluru and Delhi from Dec 25.
