Tata-owned Air India Express is set for an aggressive expansion, eyeing the deployment of 50 Boeing 737 Max planes by the end of 2024. The airline aims to secure a solid second place behind IndiGo in the competitive Indian domestic market, according to an ET report.
Currently operating 25 aircraft, Air India Express is in the midst of merging with AirAsia India, which has 28 Airbus A320neo planes. The integration of these 50 additional aircraft will propel the combined entity the second largest low-cost airline in India.
