Flybe signs codeshare with Air India
Flybe has signed a codeshare agreement with Star Alliance member Air India.
It means customers using its services to Birmingham from Belfast City, Edinburgh and Glasgow can book seamless flights onward to Delhi.
Under the agreement, Air India (AI) will place its marketing code on these Flybe flights (BE).
Seats will be available for booking from May 10 for travel from June 1.
Members of Air India’s Frequent Flier Programme will accrue mileage points for journeys taken on flights carrying the AI flight number.
Flybe CEO Saad Hammad said the move ‘further strengthens our ability to connect our regional customers to long-haul destinations with our ‘One Stop to the World’ proposition’.
It is Flybe’s tenth codeshare agreement.
Existing codeshare partners include Aer Lingus, Air France, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Emirates, Etihad, Finnair, and KLM.
Flybe signed a codeshare agreement with Virgin Atlantic in March and said demand for forward bookings has ‘exceeded early expectations’, mostly for connections to Orlando via Manchester using Flybe services from Aberdeen, Amsterdam, Belfast City, Edinburgh and Paris Charles de Gaulle; also to Las Vegas from Belfast City and Paris, and from Edinburgh to Atlanta.
