American Airlines is opening new doors across India this fall thanks to a new codeshare agreement with IndiGo, India’s leading airline. The agreement will place American’s code on 29 of IndiGo’s domestic routes in India, providing a convenient option for American Airlines’ customers arriving on the carrier’s new Bengaluru (BLR) and Delhi (DEL), India, flights.
The codeshare, which will require U.S. and Indian governments’ approvals, is expected to begin in October, as American launches new services between New York (JFK) and DEL on October 31, and between Seattle (SEA) and BLR on January 4, 2022.
IndiGo, India’s largest airline by number of passengers carried, is based in Gurgaon, Haryana, India. With its fleet of 275+ aircraft, the airline operates more than 1,100 daily flights, connecting 70 domestic destinations and 24 international destinations. Since its founding in 2006, IndiGo’s 23,000 employees have professionally served more than 300 million customers.
