Air India and the Lufthansa Group have strengthened their long-standing partnership by expanding their codeshare agreement, which now includes Austrian Airlines and builds on existing agreements with Lufthansa and Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS).

The expanded partnership will allow Air India to offer its passengers an enhanced network across Europe, with the ‘AI’ designator code now available on Lufthansa flights between Frankfurt and Dublin, as well as Swiss services between Zurich and Dublin.

Air India’s Chief Commercial Officer, Nipun Aggarwal stated “Our goal is to enable our customers to travel from any corner of the world to another via Air India and its partner airlines. The expansion of our partnership with Lufthansa Group is a step in that direction, and we are pleased to take this long-standing relationship to the next level.”

The expanded codeshare also opens up new domestic connections for Lufthansa Group passengers, who can now access Air India’s domestic services to and from 15 major cities from Delhi. These include Ahmedabad, Amritsar, Bengaluru, Bhubaneswar, Chennai, Delhi, Goa Mopa, Goa Dabolim, Hyderabad, Indore, Kochi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Pune, and Thiruvananthapuram.
