IndiGo, Delta Air Lines, Air France-KLM, and Virgin Atlantic have signed a memorandum of understanding towards a partnership. This announcement was made in conjunction with the IATA Annual General Meeting (AGM) currently being held in Delhi, India.
By integrating their North American, British, European, and Indian networks, the companies aim to offer travelers a seamless and consistent experience, thereby meeting the increasing demand for travel and establishing a new standard of connectivity and cooperation.
In the future, there will be joint operations (codeshare) on KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Delta Air Lines flights to and from Amsterdam, as well as Virgin Atlantic flights to and from Manchester. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines will also sell IndiGo’s 24 routes connecting to and from Hyderabad, linking with the Amsterdam–Hyderabad route to be launched in September. Delta Air Lines plans to resume the Atlanta–Delhi route, subject to government approval.
IndiGo is expanding its existing partnership with Air France-KLM and Virgin Atlantic by adding Delta Air Lines as a new partner. The company has announced its entry into the European market by wet-leasing Boeing 787-9 aircraft from North Atlantic Airways and plans to expand its long-haul routes with up to 100 Airbus A350-900 aircraft.
