Air India Express has commenced operations from Raja Bhoj Airport, Bhopal, with the launch of two daily flights to Delhi and one daily flight to Mumbai, strengthening air connectivity from the capital city of Madhya Pradesh.

The inaugural Delhi-bound flight departed Bhopal at 12:45 PM and arrived at Indira Gandhi International Airport at 2:15 PM, while the first Mumbai service departed at 1:40 PM, reaching Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport at 3:25 PM.

With the addition of Bhopal to its network, Air India Express now operates approximately 55 weekly flights across Bhopal, Gwalior, and Indore, further expanding its presence in Madhya Pradesh.

The latest expansion follows the airline's recent launch of direct international services between Indore and Abu Dhabi, reinforcing its commitment to improving regional and international connectivity from the state.

The newly introduced services are expected to support tourism, business travel, trade, and economic growth while providing passengers with greater travel flexibility between Madhya Pradesh and two of India's busiest metropolitan cities.

Bookings for the new routes are available through the Air India Express website, mobile application, and other major travel booking platforms.

As part of its Tales of India initiative, Air India Express also continues to showcase India's cultural heritage through aircraft tail art. Madhya Pradesh is represented on the airline's Boeing 737-8 fleet with designs inspired by the state's renowned Bagh hand-block printing and Chanderi handwoven textile traditions.

Air India Express, a Tata enterprise, currently operates more than 500 daily flights connecting 43 domestic and 16 international destinations across South, Southeast, and West Asia with a fleet of over 100 Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 aircraft.
