New Delhi [India], June 3 (ANI): Air India, India’s leading global airline, on Tuesday announced that it has entered interline partnerships with four major airlines from emerging markets, significantly enhancing connectivity to Europe, particularly the Baltic region and parts of Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
The partnerships will provide Air India guests seamless travel options to 16 more destinations across 6 countries in these regions while making India easier to access for the passengers of the respective partner airlines, the company said in a release.
Air India signed these interline agreements with Airbaltic, Bulgaria Air, Cyprus Airways, and Uzbekistan Airways on the sidelines of the ongoing 81st IATA AGM in New Delhi, it said.
