Air India and IndiGo airline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The two airlines being considered at the point are Air India<\/a> and IndiGo<\/a>. Air India now flies its Dreamliners to Melbourne and Sydney, and IndiGo <\/a>\u2013 which doesn\u2019t have long-range jets \u2013 could potentially be roped in for partnership arrangements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roger Cook, WA’s Deputy Premier, and the Minister of State Development, Jobs and Trade, Tourism, Commerce, and Science, said BusinessLine during an interview,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are going to have meetings with a range of companies. The Tatas, who are a major aviation company in India… We are looking forward to sitting down with them and exploring the possibilities of direct flights between India and Perth, Western Australia. The other company is IndiGo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Qantas resumed its flights to India <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In December 2021, Qantas restarted its flights to India, connecting Sydney with New Delhi. This was its first flight to the country in nearly ten years. But there was good reason for the airline to make a rescue. Air India had already begun working nonstop flights to Sydney and Melbourne, and data from those services was impressive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 700,000 Indian immigrants live in Australia, and AI flew more than 182,000 passengers nonstop in either direction between the two countries on 834 flights in 2019. Demand for travel between India and Australia is so high that even other international airlines are vying for a slice of the pie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
