Pune: Budget carrier SpiceJet, which Friday announced the launch of Pune-Sharjah flight from Saturday, said it is in talks with Air Arabia for an "interline arrangement". In aviation parlance, an "interline arrangement" is a deal under which the same ticket covers different legs of the journey flown by different airlines. "We are talking to Air Arabia for an interline arrangement (mutual transfer of passengers). The talks, however, are at a very preliminary stage," SpiceJet Commercial Head V Raja told reporters here.
Raja said once SpiceJet and Air Arabia arrive at an understanding, passengers of the two carriers will have a seamless journey to and from India. The Sharjah-based low-cost carrier Air Arabia flies across the Gulf Cooperation Council markets apart from other overseas destinations. Earlier, sources had said media baron Kalanithi Maran-promoted Indian carrier was in talks with Tiger Air of Singapore for a codeshare partnership.
