American Airlines and IndiGo have launched a codeshare deal that permits the former to sell seats on the latter’s flights operating on Delhi-Bengaluru and Delhi-Mumbai routes, a report told on Thursday.
American and IndiGo
“American and IndiGo plan to expand the codeshare soon to include more than a dozen additional destinations in India (in addition to Bengaluru and Mumbai),” it told.
The agreement will place American’s code on 29 of IndiGo’s domestic routes in India, providing a convenient option for American Airlines customers coming on the carrier’s new Bengaluru (BLR) and Delhi (DEL), India, flights.
U.S. and Indian governments
The codeshare, which will require U.S. and Indian governments’ approvals, is expected to begin in October, as America launches a new service between New York (JFK) and DEL on Oct. 31 and between Seattle (SEA) and BLR on Jan. 4, 2022.
