Air India Express aims to double capacity in four to five years

NEW DELHI (Reuters) -Air India’s low-cost subsidiary, Air India Express, is targeting a doubling of capacity in the next four to five years, with expansion plans for a fleet of more than 200 aircraft, Managing Director Aloke Singh said on Thursday.

The airline’s domestic capacity would grow faster than short-haul international seats in coming years, he added, so that routes within India will expand to about 60% of capacity, versus an even split now. 

The airline has a fleet of Boeing and Airbus narrow-body aircraft.
