Kochi: In a celebration true to its proposition of connecting people, places, and cultures, Air India Express is bringing the spirit of Onam to the skies with a specially curated ‘Gourmair’ Onam meal on international flights to and from Kerala and Mangaluru. Guests travelling between August 24 and September 6 can pre-book this festive ‘Gourmair’ offering on airindiaexpress.com and the mobile app, up to 18 hours before departure.

The Onam special meal features a traditional festive spread served on a banana leaf in custom packaging. The sadya is presented in a custom-designed box inspired by Kasavu, Kerala’s timeless golden-bordered textile.

The design concept extends the airline’s unique ‘Tales Of India’ initiative, featuring over 50 unique regional patterns and textiles celebrating the rich cultural tapestry of India. Guests can savour Steamed Matta Rice, Nei Parippu, Mixed Vegetable Thoran, Erissery, Avial, Kootu Curry, Sambhar, Injipuli, Mango Pickle, Banana Chips, Shakara Varatti, and the much-loved Payasam for dessert at an all-inclusive price of INR 500.

Air India Express, as part of its Tales of India initiative, has adorned one of its new Boeing aircraft, VT–BXM, with tail art inspired by the traditional Kasavu design, an ode to the region’s artistry and craftsmanship.
