Air India Express has announced an expansion of its domestic network, adding six new destinations: Aurangabad, Coimbatore, Jamnagar, Jodhpur, Madurai, and Tirupati. This move will increase the airline's total network to 64 destinations, comprising 48 domestic and 16 international locations, and aims to strengthen connectivity between India's major metropolitan areas and emerging markets.
Starting 1 September 2026, the new destinations will be linked to key metro hubs such as Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, and Mumbai. These additions are expected to improve access to significant business, industrial, cultural, and tourism centres across the country. Bookings for these flights are now available on the airline's website, mobile app, and other major booking platforms.
The airline will operate two daily services between Aurangabad and Delhi, Coimbatore and Mumbai, and Jamnagar and Mumbai. Additionally, daily flights will connect Jodhpur with Delhi and Mumbai, Madurai with Chennai, and Tirupati with Hyderabad. Air India Express will also increase frequencies on several domestic routes, adding more daily services between Delhi and Bhubaneswar, Kochi, Patna, and Varanasi.
This expansion enhances Air India Express' presence across West, South, and North India, catering to a diverse mix of business, leisure, cultural, and pilgrimage travel. Aurangabad, a gateway to the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Ajanta and Ellora, and Jamnagar, an industrial hub, will bolster the airline's footprint in western India. In the south, Coimbatore, a leading manufacturing centre, joins Madurai and Tirupati. In the north, Jodhpur will improve connectivity to Rajasthan's vibrant tourism and cultural destinations.
Building on its recent network growth, Air India Express continues to offer greater travel choices and strengthen connectivity between India's major metropolitan centres and emerging cities
