Indian budget carrier Air-India Express opens its online booking for its Doha services today. The operations are to begin on March 25, as per schedule.
Air-India manager in Doha Debashis Golder said passengers could log on to www.airindiaexpress.in, “to book/purchase tickets against credit card”.
Alternatively “they can visit the Air-India office to buy tickets against cash or credit card”.
Bookings through travel agents will be opened up in a day or two after necessary training is given to them, Golder said.
