Air India Express has resumed flights to all destinations across its West Asia network following the restoration of services to Oman and Kuwait. The airline restarted flights to Salalah on 2 July and will progressively resume Kuwait operations from 3 July after earlier suspensions.
The Tata Group-owned carrier currently operates around 780 weekly flights between India and West Asia, connecting 18 Indian cities directly with destinations across the region.
Flights between Kozhikode and Salalah resumed on 2 July, while services between Kozhikode and Kuwait will restart on 3 July. The airline will also launch Bengaluru–Kuwait flights from 4 July, with frequencies increasing in phases over the coming days.
Air India Express had temporarily suspended operations to some West Asia destinations following the regional conflict but said the latest resumptions have restored connectivity across its entire Middle East network.
The carrier operates a fleet of more than 100 aircraft and over 500 daily flights, serving 43 domestic and 16 international destinations.
The resumption strengthens air connectivity between India and the Gulf, one of the airline’s largest international markets, supporting leisure, business, and VFR (visiting friends and relatives) travel across the region.
