Air India Express has scheduled Gulf services in September 2026, including Mangaluru–Muscat, Kozhikode–Salalah and Kozhikode–Kuwait.
Published schedules checked on 7 September include specific departures this week. These are planned flights; actual operation and seat availability were not independently confirmed because the airline’s live tracker could not be accessed.
Current Gulf route availability
Mangaluru–Muscat IX891 is listed on Mondays and Thursdays through 25 October. Kozhikode–Salalah IX311 is listed on 8 September at 20:20 and 9 September at 10:00. Kozhikode–Kuwait has IX391 on 9, 12 and 13 September and IX393 on 10 September, all at 11:40. Times are local departures.
An individual flight may still be delayed, diverted or cancelled. Check the exact flight number and travel date rather than relying on a destination-wide label.

How to check your flight

- Search by route or flight number and select the correct travel date.
- Check again before leaving for the airport.
- Keep the phone number and email address in your booking up to date.
You can also follow your flight on the Wego Air India Express flight tracker. Confirm any change with Air India Express before altering your journey.
Why Gulf flights can change
Regional airspace restrictions can trigger short-notice changes. EASA’s 31 August bulletin, valid through 30 September unless reviewed earlier, warns of continuing risks over Gulf waters; it is not an Air India Express cancellation notice.
Follow airline, airport and local government instructions. If authorities issue an alert, go indoors, stay away from windows and do not approach fallen drone, missile or interception debris.
If your flight is cancelled
If Air India Express cancels your flight, contact the airline or issuing agent for the applicable alternate-flight or refund option.
Use the airline’s Tia service or support page.
Air India Express lists 24-hour support on WhatsApp at +91 63600 12345 and through its global contact centre at +91 124 443 5600 or +91 124 693 5600.
