As the first domestic airline to operate from two airports in the National Capital Region (NCR), Air India Express will start its operations from Ghaziabad's Hindon Airport. The airline is scheduled to start regular operations on March 1 of this year.

Air India Express will now operate out of Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) and Hindon Airport (HDO), two airports in the National Capital Region.

Beginning on March 1, 2025, the airline will provide direct flights to Bengaluru, Goa, and Kolkata from Hindon.

Both flights will be available on all days except Saturdays, providing an option for clients in NCR.

With the establishment of these routes and connections, airlines such as IndiGo and Air India Express highlight the benefits of having numerous airports in key cities for better connectivity, higher competition, and greater affordability for travellers.
