Air India has entered into an agreement with Slovenian flag carrier Adria Airways, and the two will soon sign a code-sharing pact, a senior official of the airline says.
“The agreement will forge greater cooperation between Air India and Adria Airways in view of aircraft compatibility, with the fleet of Airbus and CRJ aircraft types, and complementary network,” the official says.
While Adria Airways will be able to access Air India’s network by generating traffic beyond Delhi, Air India will receive access to the Eastern European market.
“It will also provide for better operations and commercial viability, and contribute towards yield improvements,” the official says.
At present, Adria Airways provides feed over Frankfurt and Munich and its hubs from the Balkans to North America for 400,000 passengers annually.
The airline’s existing passenger potential between India and Eastern Europe is 130,000 travelers per year.
“With this agreement, both Air India and Adria Airways aim to tap this potential after shortly signing a code-share agreement,” he says.
Air India has also entered into an agreement with Slovenia’s Aerodrome Ljubljana.
