POV: You thought Mangalore was just beaches. 🌊🤭 Plot twist: it's sunsets, street food, culture, hidden gems, and main-character moments all rolled into one. There’s much more to sea. ✨👀 #AirIndiaExpress #Xploremore #xpressmore

IXE–BLR–IXE was once one of the busiest intrastate routes. Strong passenger demand is still there, yet today the route is largely dominated by @IndiGo6E, while @AirIndiaX is barely at 1X daily. The demand exists. The question is, where are the seats? 👀 #Mangaluru #IXE #BLR

IXE–DEL is back DAILY! 🔥✈️ Great to see @AirIndiaX responding to strong demand from @mlrairport Now, can we bring back 2X daily? This route previously operated twice a day, and sustained demand could justify greater frequency #MangaluruAirport #IXE #IXEDEL #AirIndiaExpress
After a long break, @AirIndiaX has resumed the IXE–DEL–IXE route! But at just 2X weekly, the frequency is still far from sufficient. Previously, this route operated 2X daily. Hope AIX increases the frequency soon #IXE #AirIndiaExpress #Mangaluru #Delhi

Rest in Power, VT-ESO! 🇮🇳 After Nearly 27 Years of Service for Air India, VT-ESO was Broken into Two Pieces at Mumbai a Few Days Back. This was the Last Remaining Boeing 747 on Indian Soil. What a Sad Sight Man 🥲 📸 vimanphotography (instagram.com/p/DcytKe4yrBU)
