MUMBAI- <\/strong>The Tata-owned Indian Carriers, Air India (AI) and Vistara (UK), signed the Interline agreement. According to a source, the bilateral interline agreement will help passengers travel seamlessly with both carriers using a single ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further, the interline agreement usually enables airlines to manage check-ins. Subsequently, handle baggage for each other’s passengers. Also, the bags can be transferred from one Air India to Vistara and Vice versa hassle-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air India Vistara Interline Agreement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to IATA, An interline agreement is a commercial arrangement between airlines that enables one airline to sell services to customers that are provided by another airline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By utilizing interline agreements, airlines can offer customers a wider range of itineraries that may not be available through their own network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So it’s a win-win for both Tata-owned Indian airlines and passengers and for its staff. However, they will need to train staff properly to streamline the workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, this will not include the premium flyer miles points from Club Vistara. Also, Air India’s frequent flier miles program will be counted individually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently Air India has merged Air Asia India (I5) under Air India Express (IX). Subsequently, by 2024 TatTata will merge Vistara and Air India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
