IndiGo and Qantas to extend codeshare partnership

The partnership signifies the strengthening of the relationship between the two countries, as a part of Australia-India Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement.

 IndiGo has announced an extension of its codeshare  agreement with Australia’s national airline, Qantas through which IndiGo customers will now be  able to access four new destinations – Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane in Australia.

With the new codeshare  routes, passengers can now also fly to Singapore and connect seamlessly to Qantas’ flights between  Singapore and Melbourne, an official statement noted.

According to a release by Indigo this partnership signifies the strengthening of the relationship between the two countries, as a part of  Australia-India Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement.

In 2022, Qantas and IndiGo had finalized  codeshare partnership enabling Qantas customers flying on non-stop flights between Australia and India to  connect to 21 destinations in India on IndiGo.

Commenting on the partnership  Pieter Elbers, chief executive officer, IndiGo, said, “The two airlines are the market leaders in their respective countries and this  agreement will strengthen the bond between the two countries. For IndiGo, placing its code on another  airline and connecting over a mid-point (Singapore) is only the 2nd one of its kind. With this we are now  enabling the vast IndiGo network to connect with Qantas’ unmatched reach, we create more opportunities  for trade and tourism between both nations.”

“With the thriving growth of the Indian aviation industry, this  agreement will also enhance our international connectivity and remain committed to our promise of  providing on-time, affordable, courteous, and hassle-free travel experiences to our customers across our  wide network,” he added.
