IndiGo has signed a slew of codeshare deals in the last few months, but how will this affect the low-cost giant?
Australian carrier Qantas on Friday declared it will begin flights on the Sydney Bengaluru route from September 14 onwards and is finalizing a codeshare partnership with Indian carrier IndiGo.
Over the last several years, the Cargo industry in India has been witnessing exponential development and IndiGo has been at the forefront of serving this industry via air connectivity across the country and neighboring nations.
“Today marks an important day in the history of Indian Civil Aviation as the crown of India (Jammu) will be linked with the heart of India (Indore),” told Jyotiraditya Scindia.
At 505 weekly flights, IndiGo will have the highest international departures on a standalone basis among all airlines, followed by Air India at 361, AI Express at 340, and Emirates at 170.
Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad, and Mumbai were the four airports where Indigo had the best on-time performance.
IndiGo airline told the international flights will connect Bangkok with Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai and Bengaluru and Phuket with Delhi and Mumbai.
Scheduled international flight services were stopped in March 2020 due to the pandemic. However, special flights have been running between India and 37 countries since July 2020 under air bubble arrangements.
Indian aviation is adding some fresh players. The recently privatized Air India and low-cost Akasa Air are both hoping to shake up the market, putting the existing players under pressure. So how will India’s largest airline, IndiGo, handle the recent challenges?
