Greetings IFC, today I will be performing a route on Air India Express’ archaic 737-800, from Mangaluru, one of its bases in Southern India, to Mumbai! Usually Air India Express operates the 737 Max 8 on the route, but rarely they substitute it with the 737-800, given that the conflict in the Middle East has led to underutilization of its 737-800 fleet.
