Connecting regional India under the Air India umbrella.
Founded
2004
Headquarters
Mumbai, India
Air India Regional is a subsidiary carrier of Air India, India's national flag carrier, operating scheduled passenger services on thinner regional routes across the Indian subcontinent. It was established to complement Air India's mainline operations by extending connectivity to smaller cities and towns not served by larger jet aircraft.
The airline operates under the IATA code CD and uses the callsign ALLIED, functioning effectively as a feeder carrier for Air India's broader network. Its operations have historically focused on routes in southern and western India, using turboprop aircraft suited for shorter runways and lower-demand markets.
Following the privatization of Air India by the Tata Group in 2022, the future structure and branding of Air India Regional has been subject to reorganization as the parent group consolidates its aviation assets, which also include AIX Connect and Vistara.
Hubs & network
Air India Regional primarily operates out of Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport and Chennai International Airport.
Fleet
Air India Regional has historically operated ATR 42 and ATR 72 turboprop aircraft suited for regional and shorter-runway operations.
