Enhanced cooperation to offer seamless connectivity between India and Latvia via major
European gateways
GURUGRAM : Air India today
announced a new, unilateral codeshare partnership with airBaltic, the flag
carrier of Latvia, thus making the Baltic region more conveniently accessible
for Air India customers. This builds on the interline partnership between the
two carriers established in June 2025.
Under the codeshare, Air India has begun adding its 'AI' designator code
on airBaltic-operated flights between the Latvian capital city of Riga and Air
India’s European gateways at Amsterdam, Paris, Frankfurt, Copenhagen, Milan
Malpensa, Vienna, Zurich, and London Gatwick. This enables Air India customers
to travel between India and Riga via any of these European points with a single
Air India ticket including flight connections to Riga bearing the ‘AI’
designator code.
Air India’s interline partnership with airBaltic also enables travellers
to fly to Tallinn
in Estonia and Vilnius in Lithuania via select Air India gateways in Europe,
thus covering the Baltic region.
Nipun Aggarwal, Chief Commercial Officer, Air
India, said: “This expanded
partnership with airBaltic reflects Air India’s commitment to providing seamless
global connectivity to our customers across the world. Latvia and the wider
Baltic region are growing travel markets, but getting there for our customers
was previously not as convenient as it now becomes with airBaltic on board with
us.”
Air India operates non-stop flights from Delhi to Amsterdam (7x weekly),
Paris (14x weekly), Frankfurt (12x weekly), Copenhagen (4x weekly), Milan (6x
weekly), Vienna (4x weekly), Zurich (4x weekly); from Mumbai to Frankfurt (5x
weekly); from Amritsar and Ahmedabad to London Gatwick (3x weekly on both
routes).
Since its privatization in 2022, Air India has significantly expanded
its global alliance network. Today, the airline maintains 24 codeshare
partnerships and nearly 100 interline agreements with leading carriers
worldwide, providing seamless access for Air India customers to over 800
destinations globally.
The codeshare flights are available for bookings through the two airlines’
respective booking channels and travel agents worldwide.
