In the run up to its 19th anniversary on 29th April, the airline announced a campaign for first time voters, true to its legacy of connecting people, places, and cultures. Air India Express unveiled its #VoteAsYouAre initiative and campaign to empower and mobilise the youth of India to exercise their voting rights in the forthcoming 18th Lok Sabha elections. The airline is offering 19% off across its domestic and international network for first-time voters, between the ages of 18 and 22, flying to cast their votes. Bookings can be made on the airline’s award-winning mobile app and website, airindiaexpress.com for travel to the airport nearest to the respective constituency of the voter, between 18th April and 1st June 2024.
