With this new partnership, Air France and KLM will offer their customers access to 25 new Indian destinations, while customers of IndiGo will get access to over 250 global destinations offered by Air France and KLM, IndiGo said in a press release.

InterGlobe Aviation-run IndiGo Airlines has announced that it has entered into a codeshare agreement with a European airline – Air France-KLM.

The new partnership marks the fourth codeshare agreement IndiGo has entered into with a global airline after already signing agreements with Qatar Airways, American Airlines, and Turkish Airlines to expand its offerings in the international market.

With this new partnership, Air France and KLM will offer their customers access to 25 new Indian destinations, while customers of IndiGo will get access to over 250 global destinations offered by Air France and KLM, IndiGo said in a press release.

The codeshare agreement is subject to government approval and is expected to start in February 2022.

A codeshare agreement is a business arrangement in which two or more airlines publish and market the same flight under their own airline designator and flight number as part of their published timetable or schedule.

Typically, a flight is operated by one airline while seats are sold for the flight by all cooperating airlines using their own designator and flight number.

IndiGo had in September also announced that it has entered into a code-sharing agreement with American Airlines, which will help place the latter’s code on 29 of IndiGo’s domestic routes in India.

 The new agreement by the largest airline in India by market share once again reiterates IndiGo’s efficient approach to expanding its product offering to customers while keeping its operating expenses in check.
