Air India Express will launch operations at Navi Mumbai International Airport on Christmas Day 2025, offering daily flights to Bengaluru and Delhi. The low-cost carrier joins other major Indian airlines in inaugurating services from India’s newest mega-airport, which was formally opened by Prime Minister Modi in October. Air India Express plans to expand to twice-daily service on both routes starting January 1, 2026, while also launching Nagpur flights from existing Mumbai operations.
