This is the budget arm of Air India, now significantly larger following its merger with AIX Connect (formerly AirAsia India). By 2026, it operates a massive fleet of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, focusing on "metro‑to‑tier 2" cities in India and high‑frequency routes to the Middle East and Southeast Asia. The 2026 experience features the new Gourmair hot meal service and upgraded leather seating.
