Turkish Airlines, and India’s largest domestic carrier, IndiGo have announced a codeshare and mutual cooperation agreement.

The codeshare deal between the two carriers will enable both carriers to provide more flexibility of choice to their respective customers to fly on sectors between India, Istanbul and beyond.

This is the first codeshare agreement for IndiGo as part of its international expansion strategy.

Through this cooperation, Turkish Airlines will be offering new destinations in India as Marketing Carrier on IndiGo operated flights, while IndiGo customers will be able to reach many European destinations through Turkish Airlines’ extensive network.

This reciprocal arrangement will allow TK and 6E to provide seamless connections to their customers, besides enabling them to use through check-in and many other facilities.

IndiGo will place its flight code '6E' on 20 points beyond Istanbul operated by Turkish Airlines. Similarly, Turkish Airlines will use its code 'TK' on IndiGo operated flights within India.
