British Airways inks codeshare agreement with India's IndiGo

From 12 October, eight IndiGo services be available as codeshare options – including Heathrow-Amritsar via New Delhi and Heathrow-Goa via Mumbai. New options out of Heathrow include Thiruvananthapuram via Mumbai, Rajkot (Hirasar) via Mumbai and Vadodara via Mumbai.

It means BA customers travelling on these routes will be able to do so on a single ticket.

“This step to provide seamless connectivity will not only support trade and commerce between the two countries but also offer convenient travel options to students and tourists,” said IndiGo senior vice-president for network planning and revenue management Abhijit Dasgupta.

“With burgeoning demand for international travel, we will continue to enhance international connectivity and remain committed to our promise of providing on-time, affordable, courteous, and hassle-free travel experiences to our customers."

The announcement comes as the number of BA flights to the country has now exceeded pre-pandemic levels, with 56 services a week available to the likes of Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore.
