National, June 03, 2024: Japan Airlines (JAL) and IndiGo today announced that they have agreed on codeshare partnership which will greatly benefit the customers by providing more travel options between Japan and India. The cooperation will allow Japan Airlines to strengthen its connectivity into India initially, while enabling more travel options for IndiGo customers on JAL’s extensive domestic and international network in later phases. Codeshare enables JAL to expand reach to 14 IndiGo destinations in India.
IndiGo, India’s leading airline with over 60% market share, and JAL will commence codeshare on India domestic routes which connect to JAL operated flights from/to Delhi and Bengaluru.
Currently, JAL operates daily services between Tokyo Haneda – Delhi, and three times a week services between Tokyo Narita – Bengaluru, supporting the air travel demand between the two countries. Through this new partnership with IndiGo, which has the largest domestic network in India, JAL will be able to establish an extensive network throughout India, including major cities such as Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Amritsar, Kochi, Coimbatore, Thiruvananthapuram, Tiruchirappalli, Pune, Lucknow, Varanasi, and Goa, that connect to JAL operated flights. With IndiGo, known for its high-quality in-flight service and punctuality, JAL will extend an exceptional service to even more travelers through this partnership. In the ensuing period, the carriers will seek to further expand the cooperation with IndiGo code sharing on JAL operated flights.
JAL is a OneWorld member and currently has a codeshare in place with Vistara. This seems to be an announcement on the sidelines of IATA AGM at Delhi. The finer details will be worked out in due course of time.
