Name originThe name combines the parent airline's name, Air India, with "Express", pointing to a low-cost, point-to-point service launched as an Air India subsidiary in 2005. This is a plain reading of the name, not a published explanation.The airline began in 1932 as Tata Airlines, part of Tata Sons. It became a public limited company named Air India on 29 July 1946, and its name was officially shortened from Air India International to Air India in June 1962. The name is simply the country's name attached to the carrier that became its flag airline.
