Air India Express has announced a significant network expansion with new routes connecting Delhi–Abu Dhabi, Pune–Abu Dhabi, and Nagpur–Bengaluru. Starting December 1 and 2, 2025, the airline will introduce twice-daily Nagpur–Bengaluru flights and new international services linking Delhi and Pune to Abu Dhabi.
With these additions, Air India Express now serves 60 destinations, marking steady growth in both domestic and international markets. The Abu Dhabi routes will operate four times weekly from Delhi and three times weekly from Pune, strengthening trade and tourism ties between India and the UAE.
Nagpur’s inclusion further consolidates the airline’s presence in Maharashtra, while the Bengaluru connection enhances southern India’s network reach. The airline currently operates over 530 weekly flights from Bengaluru and 400 from Delhi, connecting to key cities across India and the Gulf.
The expansion coincides with the launch of Air India Express’s “Xplore More, Xpress More” campaign and the unveiling of its redesigned Boeing 737-8 interiors, featuring upgraded seating, USB ports, and refreshed cabin aesthetics inspired by Indian craftsmanship through its ‘Tales of India’ initiative.
