This follows the merger of AIX Connect (formerly AirAsia India) with Air India Express on October 1, marking a major step in Tata’s broader consolidation of its airline operations.<br /><br />Currently operating a fleet of 90 aircraft, including Boeing 737s and A320s, Air India Express has plans to expand its reach, particularly to smaller cities and towns. The airline aims to simplify its fleet by eliminating <keyword id="21350335" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="business-class" source="keywords">business class</keyword> seats, opting instead for a uniform economy layout across its narrow-body planes.<br /><br />The decision comes as the airline faces supply chain challenges that have delayed the delivery of new aircraft. To bridge the gap, it has already inducted 35 white-tail Boeing 737-8 planes, with plans to add 15 more in the coming months. White-tail aircraft are planes originally manufactured for other carriers and later repurposed by Air India Express. These planes, often with varying business class configurations, will be reconfigured to fit the airline’s new model.<br /><br />The PTI report adds that by eliminating business class, the airline aims to better serve its core market—connecting <keyword id="20567886" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Tier-2-and-Tier-3-cities" source="keywords">Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities</keyword> with major metropolitan hubs, while expanding its international network. In addition to strengthening its domestic routes, Air India Express plans to focus on regional international flights, particularly to destinations in the Gulf, Southeast Asia, and eventually South Asia.<br /><br />Air India Express’ network strategy is closely aligned with that of the larger Tata Group’s airline portfolio, which includes Air India, Vistara, and the recently merged AIX Connect. As part of this consolidation, Air India Express aims to meet growing demand for affordable travel between smaller towns and metros, a market segment identified as a key growth area.<br /><br />The move towards an economy-only fleet reflects broader industry trends, with many <keyword id="20314404" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="low-cost-carriers" source="keywords">low-cost carriers</keyword> focusing on streamlining operations to reduce costs and improve efficiency.

Imagine taking a deep breath, expecting fresh, clean air, but instead, inhaling particles so tiny they’re invisible but powerful enough to change your life. For millions worldwide, that’s the reality — and it’s taking a toll on their lungs. A new global study shows that nearly 30% of <keyword id="22476122" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="asthma-cases" source="keywords">asthma cases</keyword> can be traced back to long-term exposure to <keyword id="20147117" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="fine-particulate-matter" source="keywords">fine particulate matter</keyword>, or <keyword id="20573061" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="PM2-5" source="keywords">PM2.5</keyword>, the kind of pollution that often comes from cars, factories, and even cooking fires.<br /><h2>How PM2.5 impacts asthma</h2>Asthma is a chronic respiratory condition characterised by recurring symptoms like wheezing, coughing, and difficulty breathing. While the exact causes of asthma remain complex and varied, this new study underlines that PM2.5 pollution is a significant risk factor.<br /><br />The study brings together insights from 68 epidemiological studies conducted across 22 countries, spanning regions from North America to South Asia. This comprehensive meta-analysis demonstrates the consistent impact of PM2.5 on asthma development.<br />    <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="114504550" title="Most people miss THIS warning on their mosquito repellent vaporizer’s label" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>Lead author Dr Ruijing Ni explained, “We estimate that globally in 2019, almost a third of asthma cases are attributable to long-term PM2.5 exposure, corresponding to 63.5 million existing cases and 11.4 million new cases.”<br /><h2>The Indian asthma problem</h2>India, one of the world’s most polluted countries, faces a particularly severe burden from <keyword id="19900550" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="air-pollution" source="keywords">air pollution</keyword>. Studies have shown that PM2.5 levels in many Indian cities far exceed the <keyword id="19896311" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="World-Health-Organization" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="World Health Organization" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="World Health Organization">World Health Organization</keyword>'s safe limit of 5 µg/m³. This exposure is especially dangerous for children, whose lungs and immune systems are still developing.<br /><br />The numbers are worrying: around 15-20 million Indians suffer from asthma, making up a significant portion of the estimated 339 million cases worldwide. Children are disproportionately affected; a 2019 report indicated that approximately 6% of children aged 1 to 5 in India show asthma symptoms. This exposure often results in airway inflammation and oxidative stress, which increases vulnerability to <keyword id="19923193" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="respiratory-diseases" source="keywords">respiratory diseases</keyword>.<br /><h2>What the data says</h2>The research team employed exposure-response curves to better understand the link between PM2.5 levels and asthma cases. By considering data from both high-income and low- and middle-income countries, the researchers could provide a more accurate global assessment of PM2.5’s <keyword id="21037424" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="health-impact" source="keywords">health impact</keyword>.<br /><br />The study found that in Germany, for instance, PM2.5 may be responsible for about 11% of new asthma cases — roughly 28,000 people. However, the burden is even higher in low- and middle-income countries like India, where higher levels of pollution are coupled with limited healthcare access. This disparity highlights the need for global action to reduce PM2.5 emissions, especially in regions where pollution levels and health impacts are most severe.<br /><h2>Policy implications and recommendations</h2>The findings have clear implications for policymakers. Strengthening <keyword id="19918941" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="air-quality" source="keywords">air quality</keyword> regulations, especially in high-exposure regions, could prevent millions of new asthma cases and reduce healthcare costs.<br /><br />“Our findings highlight the urgent need for policymakers to enforce stringent legislation to continuously combat air pollution,” emphasised another study author Prof. Yafang Cheng. <br />    <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="114695519" title="Are your green firecrackers really ‘green? Here’s all you need to know before doing your Diwali shopping" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div>In addition to governmental measures, personal protective actions like wearing masks and installing air purifiers in homes can also help individuals reduce their exposure to PM2.5, particularly during high-pollution periods.<br /><br />This study adds to the growing evidence that reducing air pollution is critical for public health. While global challenges like PM2.5 pollution may seem daunting, each step toward cleaner air can bring significant health benefits. For countries like India, where asthma rates and pollution levels are both alarmingly high, these findings underscore an urgent need for both policy and community action to protect the most vulnerable — particularly children.<br />

It features an aluminium finish that gives it a premium look and feel, while remaining lightweight at just under 1.3kg. This makes it easy to carry, whether you’re heading to the office, travelling, or attending classes.<br /><br />Apple is known for offering long-term support for its devices, and the MacBook Air M1 is no exception. This means that buyers can expect software updates and security patches for several years, extending the usability and lifespan of the laptop. For anyone considering investing in a laptop, this is an important factor, as it ensures that the device will not become obsolete anytime soon.<br /><br /><strong>SEE ALSO: <br /><br /><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/article/from-firewire-in-macs-to-type-c-in-iphones-the-apple-connect/articleshow/112734982.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank">From FireWire in Macs to Type-C in iPhones - the Apple Connect</a><br /></strong><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/article/elon-musk-to-tim-cook-a-morning-in-the-lives-of-big-tech-ceos/articleshow/113599807.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink" target="_blank"><strong>Elon Musk to Tim Cook: A morning in the lives of big tech CEOs</strong></a><br /><br />

In the last few months, have you received a suspicious call from a stranger claiming that you have won a cash prize? Or has someone tried reaching out to you saying that a relative is in trouble and urgently needs money? If you answered yes to any of these questions, know that you are not alone. <keyword id="19895063" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="India" source="keywords">India</keyword> has reported a rise in scam calls in recent months and these calls seem to be increasing at a rapid rate. <br /><br />But not just calls, there are various other platforms that scammers try to take advantage of, to rob people of their hard-earned money. Read on to know about the top 5 <keyword id="22618205" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="personal-finance-scams" source="keywords">personal finance scams</keyword> that are surfacing in India and how you can stay safe from them. <br /><br /><h2>Fake <keyword id="20488964" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="job-offer" source="keywords">job offer</keyword> scams</h2>This is one of the most commonly reported scams. Over the last year, there have been many cases where people were approached for seemingly lucrative job offers via platforms like WhatsApp and Telegram. Some of these cases involved the victim making payments to certain accounts, while being made to believe that it is a part of the job and there will be a handsome return later. <br /><br />For instance, a PTI report in May this year revealed that a woman from Navi Mumbai found herself trapped in an online fraud and lost Rs 54 lakh. The victim wanted to earn some extra money by working from home and was reportedly offered freelance work by the scammers. She was also told that she would earn money after completing five tasks. And to receive these tasks, the woman claimed that she paid Rs 54.30 lakh in various accounts. When the woman asked for payment after completing the tasks assigned to her, the scammers stopped replying.<br /><br /><h2>Sweetheart scams</h2>Meeting the love of your life through an <keyword id="20167528" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="online-platform" source="keywords">online platform</keyword> seems too good to be true at times. And sometimes, this really is the case. Various cases have surfaced in the past where the victims were duped of their hard-earned money by their online lovers.<br /><br />Just last month, a man in Delhi was scammed of Rs 1.2 lakh when he planned to meet a woman he was talking to on Tinder. The two met at a cafe in Delhi to celebrate the woman’s birthday and ordered some snacks, cakes, and wine. The woman however, abruptly left in the middle of the date citing a family emergency. And the victim incurred a bill of Rs 1,21,917.70 for food that should have only cost a few thousand bucks. <br /><br />When he questioned the high bill, he was threatened and forced to pay. After investigating, the police found that the cafe split the high bills in a set way: 15% to the girl, 45% to the table and cafe managers, and 40% to the owners.<br /><br /><h2>Fake screenshots scams</h2>Another type of scam that is widely happening in the country is where you are shown a screenshot that gives the impression that your account has been credited with some money, when it actually has not.<br /><br />For instance, in March this year, a Delhi Uber driver was making headlines for overcharging a customer for a ride to the airport. A Moneycontrol report mentioned how a man described his experience in a Reddit thread. As per the report, the man said that he had booked a ride to the airport and the initial fare was Rs 340. However, when the ride was completed, the Uber driver showed him a screenshot which depicted that the fare was Rs 648.<br /><br />The driver had claimed that the fare increased due to more waiting time. However, that wasn’t the case and the driver had created a fake screenshot to demand extra money. After this post went viral, several other Reddit users reported similar incidents.<br /><br /><h2><keyword id="19925254" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="YouTube" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="YouTube" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="YouTube">YouTube</keyword> like and earn scam</h2>This one is similar to the completing tasks scam. In this scam, <keyword id="20013464" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="fraudsters" source="keywords">fraudsters</keyword> tend to tell the victim that they will have to engage with a YouTube channel to earn money. They then ask the person to make certain payments, promising a greater reward later on. Once the victim transfers the money, the fraudsters tend to disappear into thin air. <br /><br />In February this year, there were reports of a man losing Rs 16 lakh due to such a scam.<br /><br /><h2><keyword id="19957108" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="online-shopping" source="keywords">Online shopping</keyword> scam</h2>If you have ever shopped online, be sure to read this one. Many scamsters come up with fake advertisements on reputed platforms like Instagram to lure people into buying items online. In such scams, once the order has been placed and payment has been made, the victim doesn’t receive the products. In addition to this, scammers can also pose as bank employees and gain access to sensitive information of the victim’s account. <br /><br />For instance, a report by PTI last year revealed that a 70-year-old woman was buying six towels online for Rs 1,160. While making the payment, Rs 19,005 was taken from her account instead of Rs 1,160. She tried to contact the bank helpline but couldn't reach them.<br /><br />Soon after, she got a call from an unknown number. The caller claimed to be from the bank and offered to help with her payment problem. He asked her to download an app for the refund.<br /><br />The woman followed his instructions but ended up losing Rs 1 lakh from her account. When she saw the unauthorised transactions, she went to the police station. Meanwhile, another Rs 8.3 lakh was withdrawn from her account.<br /><br /><h2>How to stay safe from such scams</h2>Even though more and more people are being targeted by scammers, there are some ways that you can ensure that you stay safe. Keep these few points in mind in order to protect yourself against personal financial scams.<br /><br /><ol><li>Don’t share your personal information with strangers online or on the phone. <br /></li><li>Don’t make any payments just because a stranger told you to. Verify the situation and the person’s credentials. <br /></li><li>Don’t click on suspicious links that are sent to you on emails or text messages. <br /></li><li>Avoid shopping for doubtful websites or accepting job offers from sites that appear dubious.<br /></li><li>Before taking up any job offer, perform a thorough search of the company or the person who is claiming to recruit you.<br /></li><li>Read up a bit about popular scams going on right now. At times, a simple Google Search can help you save up loads of money. <br /></li></ol>

In a major development, the <keyword id="64630" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-Commercial-Pilots-Association" source="Orion">Indian Commercial Pilots Association</keyword> (ICPA) and the <keyword id="64606" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-Pilots-Guild" source="Orion">Indian Pilots Guild</keyword> (IPG) of <keyword id="2573" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="air-india" source="Orion">Air India</keyword> have rejected the new pay structure proposed by the airline.<br /><br />The primary bone of contention is the reduction in flying allowance from 70 hours to 40 hours every month under the new structure, which the pilots believe is unfair.<br /><br />The two unions have warned of possible 'industrial unrest' if the management goes ahead with the new terms without their consent. While Air India has stated that it will "continue to engage with the remainder of its staff", the airline has taken a tough stance on the issue, saying that there are "no recognised unions in Air India".<br /><br />This is the first wage revision offered by the Tata group-owned Air India since its takeover last year, and it will affect all 3,000 pilots across its four airlines - Air India, <keyword id="6378232" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Air-India-Express" source="Orion">Air India Express</keyword>, <keyword id="1625599" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Air-Asia-India" source="Orion">Air Asia India</keyword>, and <keyword id="2467342" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vistara" source="Orion">Vistara</keyword>.<br /><br />The pilots' unions have instructed their members to reject the new employment conditions and wage structure offered by the management.<br /><br />An agreement has been put in place for the employees to sign by April 25, but the two unions have stated that they will contest the terms and conditions, with their pilots refusing to sign the revised employment and compensation terms.<br /><br />The two unions have warned of potential industrial unrest if the company takes any coercive or victimising action against their members.<br /><br />In a joint statement, the unions stated that the company reiterated that "all previous understandings, representations and agreements of whatever nature that have been entered into with us are null &amp; void and that the company further has the right to change any terms and conditions".<br /><br />"The term cost to the company for an assumed flying of 70 hrs is deliberately misleading and creates an impression of a generous compensation and accompanying benefits package. The actual guaranteed money being offered is only for 40 hrs. Effectively, any time a pilot is on leave or is unavailable due to recurrent training requirements or document/licence renewals, not to mention any sick leave, there is an automatic pay cut involved," the statement read.<br /><br />"The so-called rationalisations of allowances is not in line with any industry practices as projected by HR. Further, blanket consent is sought for any leave or insurance policy that the company may come up with &amp; which is subject to amendment or outright withdrawal.<br /><br />"Suffice it to say that this is not an all-inclusive list but merely a selection of some of the most outlandish and labour-hostile provisions that we have come across to date. This is dishonourable and how the management is trying to force it down the employees' throats is outright unethical," it added.<br /><br />"Nor has the blatant attack on our rights as workmen to bargain collectively or seek legal redressal for any injustice or victimisation gone unnoticed. Where is the company requirement all of a sudden to forcibly promote almost all the permanent workmen of the union to the so-called Senior Commander management cadre? It is clear from all this that there is a concerted effort to gut the unions and isolate pilots into individual boxes where they can be exploited and victimised at will by the HR department," the statement said.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Air India's spokesperson has defended the new compensation structure, which includes parity among different groups, recognition of managerial and supervisory roles for experienced pilots, and individual contracts sent to pilots and cabin crew for necessary paperwork.<br /><br />"The managerial and supervisory role played by the experienced pilots is also being recognised in the form of designating them as Senior Commander as also offering them a special monthly allowance. The contracts reflecting these enhancements were individually sent to the pilots and cabin crew for necessary paperwork," said the spokesperson.<br /><br />The spokesperson also claimed that a large number of pilots and cabin crew have already accepted the new contracts, and the salary improvements and advancement opportunities they enable.<br /><br />"The airline will continue to engage with the remainder of its staff through this process as currently there is no recognised union in Air India," the spokesperson said.<br /><br /><br /><strong>SEE ALSO: </strong><a target="_blank" class="c-link c-message_attachment__title_link" href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/corporates/news/rils-q4-to-be-driven-by-sustained-momentum-in-retail-business-o2c-to-see-modest-growth/articleshow/99629278.cms">RIL’s Q4 to be driven by sustained momentum in retail business, O2C to see modest growth</a><br /><a target="_blank" class="c-link c-message_attachment__title_link" href="https://www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/news/condom-maker-mankind-pharmas-4326-crore-ipo-to-open-next-week-on-april-25/articleshow/99614288.cms">Condom maker Mankind Pharma’s ₹4,326 crore IPO to open next week on April 25</a><br />

They can be ready to eat in under 30 minutes, making them a perfect party snack or a quick weeknight dinner. </p><p><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/whats-best-rotisserie-chicken-from-grocery-store-photos-review-2022-5">Costco's party wings</a> are coated with a garlic marinade, so you can air fry and enjoy them as is, or toss them with a wing sauce before serving.</p><p>Pair them with a starchy side dish and salad or steamed vegetables for <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/personal-trainer-shares-costco-best-products-this-month-for-family-2022-1">an easy, no-fuss meal for the whole family</a>.</p><h2>Making green beans in the air fryer is super simple</h2><p>Cooking green beans is usually a multistep process that involves boiling, dunking them in an ice bath, and then cooking them in a hot pan. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-things-to-make-in-air-fryer-according-to-personal-trainer-2021">But with the air fryer, they can be ready in less than 10 minutes</a> with no additional bowls, pots, or pans to clean.</p><p>The green beans I buy from Costco come snipped, washed, and ready to use, so you can simply toss them in olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper and cook them in the air fryer for eight minutes.  </p><h2>I make my own crispy and satisfying toasted ravioli </h2><div type="image" title="A bag of pre-packaged ravioli with a picture of an old man on front with &quot;Giovanni Rana&quot; and &quot;Organic 3 Cheese Ravioli&quot; text. Bag has a window in which the customer can see the pieces of piece inside" height="2673" width="3564" msid="107062843" hostid="261" sizebytes="692960"></div><p>You may have seen deep-fried ravioli, often referred to as "toasted ravioli," in the appetizer section of restaurant menus. I like to use the Giovanni Rana 3 Cheese Ravioli to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trying-popular-air-fryer-recipes-from-desserts-to-dinners">make a similar version in the air fryer</a>.  </p><p>Boil the ravioli for three minutes, then dip them in an egg mixture and dredge in panko bread crumbs. Spray both sides with oil so the ravioli can get nice and crispy, then air fry for eight to 10 minutes. </p><p>I like to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-things-at-costco-according-to-baker-and-chef-2022-2">serve them with Rao's Homemade Marinara sauce</a>, which can be found in the pasta section at Costco.</p><h2>Chicken drumsticks can become the star of a weeknight dinner that's ready in half an hour</h2><p>Kirkland Signature organic chicken drumsticks come in portion packs, which contain about five or six pieces. </p><p>Simply coat the drumsticks (be sure to thaw beforehand if using frozen) with your favorite seasonings and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/unique-recipes-to-make-in-air-fryer-from-experts-2022-1">pop them in the air fryer for an easy weeknight dinner</a> that's ready in under 30 minutes.</p><p>I like to brush them with melted butter and parsley when they come out of the air fryer to give them a rich and glossy finish.</p><h2>Use your air fryer to help make a delicious garlic spread </h2><p>If you love garlic, you'll want to try roasting an entire bulb in the air fryer. The garlic bulbs turn soft, golden, and slightly sweet and nutty in flavor.  </p><p>I like to get a 2-pound bag of California-grown fresh garlic at Costco. I cut off the tops of the bulbs, drizzle them with olive oil, then roast them in the air fryer for 35 minutes. </p><p>You can mix the garlic with softened grass-fed butter to make a <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/which-chef-has-the-best-recipe-for-garlic-bread">heavenly garlic paste to spread over toast</a>.</p><h2>Sukhi's Samosa Trio contains three flavors with two dipping sauces</h2><div type="image" title="Box with yellow packaging that says &quot;Sukhi's Samosa Trio&quot; and three labels with &quot;Potato,&quot; &quot;Mango Coconut Chicken,&quot; and &quot;Chickpea&quot; above pictures of samosas on trays" height="2274" width="3024" msid="107062844" hostid="261" sizebytes="564118"></div><p>Sukhi's Samosa Trio is the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-costco-foods-personal-trainer-buys-for-family-photos-2022-3">perfect crispy appetizer to serve at your next party or gathering</a>.</p><p>The box includes potato, mango-coconut chicken, and chickpea samosas with two chutney flavors for dipping. </p><p>Air fry the samosas at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for seven minutes and add them to your party platter for your guests to devour.</p><h2>If you didn't like tofu before, try making it crispy in the air fryer</h2><p>If <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-vegan-diet-cooking-tips-from-someone-on-diet-2022-3">you've eaten tofu in the past but didn't love it</a>, I suggest air-frying it.</p><p>I use Nasoya Organic firm tofu, which I get from Costco. It's important to use firm tofu when air frying to ensure it can hold up throughout the cooking process.  </p><p>I like to marinate the tofu cubes with Kinder's Teriyaki Sauce — also from Costco — before placing them in the air fryer for 18 minutes. </p><p>The crispy tofu can be enjoyed by itself or added to stir fry. My favorite way to enjoy air-fried tofu is in a bowl with rice, quinoa, vegetables, and sauce to make a perfect dish for meatless Mondays.</p><h2>Just Bare Chicken Breast Chunks are a great dupe for another popular nugget</h2><p>Some know Just Bare Chicken Breast Chunks for <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trying-to-make-popular-fast-food-recipes-in-air-fryer-2021-5">their similarity to Chick-fil-A's nuggets</a>. Heat them in the air fryer at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for eight minutes to get the breading on the outside nice and crispy while the meat stays tender and juicy. </p><p>You can sprinkle them over a salad, add to a tortilla for a crunchy chicken wrap, or enjoy them as I did with <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/every-sandwich-at-chick-fil-a-reviewed-photos">a mock Chick-fil-A sauce</a> you can make with a few ingredients you likely have in your pantry.</p><h2>These pot stickers stay soft with a golden, crispy exterior </h2><p>Costco carries a variety of frozen pot stickers and dumplings, many of which come with a dipping sauce.</p><p>Preparing them in the air fryer is my preferred method for achieving a perfectly cooked pot sticker with crispy edges and a soft bottom. If you want your pot stickers golden and crispy all around, flip them halfway during the cooking process.</p><h2>Vegetable-filled spring rolls are a great snack when you air-fry them </h2><div type="image" title="A box with a black &quot;Royal Asia&quot; logo in left hand corner and a picture of eight spring rolls on bed of leaves with &quot;Vegetable Spring Rolls with Edamame&quot; in front" height="2219" width="2958" msid="107062845" hostid="261" sizebytes="337378"></div><p>The vegetable spring rolls from Royal Asia are <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-snacks-to-make-in-your-air-fryer-chefs-2021-10">the perfect appetizer or snack</a> because you can heat them up in the air fryer and dip them in the soy-ginger sauce that's provided. </p><p>The wrapper is thin and crispy, and the filling contains a variety of vegetables, including edamame, jicama, and cabbage.</p><p>Heat the spring rolls in the air fryer at 390 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes and flip halfway through. </p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/costco-shoppers-share-the-best-things-to-buy-photos-list"><strong>Click to keep reading Costco diaries like this one</strong></a><strong>.</strong></p>
