Air India Express, a low-cost wholly-owned subsidiary of Air India, has taken delivery of its first custom-designed Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft.
The arrival of the aircraft (VT-RNT) means that over half of the Air Express fleet has now been upgraded to the latest generation of Boeing jets.
The aircraft features contoured leatherette seats with up to 29-inch legroom; USB-A and 60W USB-C fast charging at every seat; and Boeing Sky Interior with quieter cabins, mood lighting, and larger bins.
“This isn’t just a delivery: it’s how we continue to elevate comfort, space, and convenience,” the airline said.
Air India Express operates over 500 daily flights that connect 45 domestic and 17 international destinations.
It has a fleet of 115 aircraft, comprising 75 Boeing 737s and 40 Airbus A320s.
