Air India and Air New Zealand establish codeshare partnership

Air India and Air New Zealand have teamed up to improve air travel between India and several destinations, including Singapore, Australia, and New Zealand. They signed a new agreement on Wednesday that allows for codeshare flights on 16 routes. With this partnership, passengers can book flights on a single ticket, making travel easier. The airlines aim to provide a smooth journey for travelers flying between these countries. Additionally, they are looking into starting direct flights from India to New Zealand by the end of 2028. This will depend on new aircraft being delivered and getting approvals from regulatory bodies. Campbell Wilson, CEO of Air India, expressed excitement about this partnership. He mentioned that it builds on previous agreements they have made with other major airlines. He believes this will help strengthen their services and lead to the launch of non-stop flights in the future. Greg Foran, CEO of Air New Zealand, noted that India is an important market for growth for their airline.
