India’s IndiGo, Turkish Airlines agree to codeshare

IndiGo and Turkish Airlines announced a codeshare and mutual cooperation agreement on Dec. 21, 2018. The cooperation is subject to board and regulatory approvals. This is IndiGo’s first codeshare agreement as part of its international expansion strategy. The LCC is also preparing to launch its first services to Europe, to Istanbul, using the Airbus A321neo. Under the agreement, IndiGo will place its 6E code on 20 destinations beyond Istanbul operated by Turkish Airlines. Similarly, Turkish Airlines will use its TK code on IndiGo-operated flights within India. Turkish will offer new destinations in India; the Istanbul-based carrier currently services Mumbai and Delhi in India.<br/>
