The codeshare partnership will mean customers booking a Virgin Atlantic ticket will be able to fly on the airline’s Heathrow to Delhi and Mumbai flights and connect to and from seven additional cities in India.
Later this year the agreement will be expanded to cover a total of 16 destinations throughout India, as well as connections onto Virgin Atlantic’s US network operated via Heathrow.
The agreement will allow the carrier to sell seats to passengers connecting onto IndiGo flights. The initial codeshare destinations include Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Amritsar, Goa, Delhi and Mumbai.
