“With this Dh1 extra baggage offer, Air India Express continues its commitment to deliver value and comfort to our loyal passengers across the Gulf. We understand that festive travel often means carrying gifts and essentials for loved ones, and this offer is our way of making that journey a little lighter on the wallet,” said PP Singh, regional manager – Gulf, Middle East & Africa.

Air India Express, a subsidiary of Air India and part of the Tata Group, connects cities such as Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi, Muscat, Dammam, and Doha with more than 20 Indian destinations.
