IndiGo signs codesharing partnership with Turkish Airlines
India’s largest domestic airline IndiGo has inked a codeshare agreement with Turkish Airlines to offer Indian travellers one-stop access to destinations across Europe.
It is IndiGo’s first codeshare agreement as part of an international expansion strategy, the airline said.
IndiGo will place its ‘6E’ code 20 routes from Turkish Airlines’ Istanbul hub, and Turkish Airlines will offer its customers onward connections via IndiGo’s domestic network.
"We are very happy to host new operators in our main hub Istanbul, and IndiGo will be the first Indian carrier starting flights to Turkey which is very welcome," said Turkish Airlines CEO Bilal Eksi.
The codeshare pact will offer the airlines’ respective customers through check-in and other coordinated services.
"We are very excited to be launching our first codeshare with Turkish Airlines. Apart from supporting our upcoming direct services to Istanbul, this strategic partnership will expand the choices available to our customers," said IndiGo interim CEO Rahul Bhatia.
