AFTER deploying most of its aircraft assets on the West Asian routes, Tata Group-owned air India Express is set to expand international operations to Southeast Asia and other regional destinations, including Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam, Bangladesh and Nepal, reports New Delhi's Financial Express.
The move assumes significance since the airline has started receiving new aircraft that have the range and endurance to reach these destinations.
Since its new brand launch, the airline has inducted four Boeing 737-8 Max aircraft, taking the total fleet size to 57.
On an overall basis, the passenger carrier will be inducting 50 new aircraft over the next 15 months. It aims to grow its fleet to about 170 narrow-body aircraft in the next five years. The carrier also plans to have a network spanning both domestic and international routes.
Apart from 13 destinations in West Asia, the airline will soon operate flights between destinations in India and Singapore.
