Domestic carrier IndiGo on Monday said that it has added four more US cities — Houston, Atlanta, Miami and Los Angeles — as destinations through its codeshare partnership with Turkish Airlines. These new flights will start from December 18.
The airlines had entered into a codeshare agreement in June 2023 which allowed IndiGo passengers to fly to New York, Boston, Chicago and Washington via Istanbul. Later, San Francisco was also added.
Under the codeshare agreement, one carrier sells the tickets under its name and another operates it. It allows both airlines to expand their services on another’s network.
“With our total connections to the US, now increasing to nine, we gladly offer even more avenues for business travellers, aspiring students as well as tourists and visiting friends and relatives,” said Vinay Malhotra, head of global sales, IndiGo.
IndiGo’s codeshare partnership with Turkish Airlines will expand to a total of 43 destinations, which includes European and Asian countries.
IndiGo has codeshare partnerships with nine airlines. Last month, the domestic carrier said that it would commence flights under codeshare agreement with Japan Airlines from December 16. The agreement was aimed at allowing Japanese carrier to expand its services to 18 destinations of IndiGo’s network. IndiGo also has codeshare partnerships with British Airways, Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways, American Airlines, Air France-KLM, Australian carrier Qantas and Virgin Atlantic.
“As we expand our global network and connect people with favoured destinations, we remain committed to delivering on our promise of providing affordable, on-time, courteous, and hassle-free travel experiences across our extensive network,” Malhotra said.
