Air India Express is a low-cost carrier and wholly owned subsidiary of Air India, headquartered in Gurugram, Haryana. The airline was founded in 2005 and commenced operations on 29 April 2005, with inaugural flights launched simultaneously from Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi, and Kozhikode, connecting South India to the Middle East.

As part of the group's subsequent transformation programme, Tata Sons acquired full ownership of AirAsia India in November 2022, rebranding it as AIX Connect in October 2023; AIX Connect was then merged into Air India Express, with the combined carrier operating under the Air India Express name from 1 October 2024.
