Mumbai: Air India has signed a code-sharing agreement with Air Canada, a Star Alliance member. This is Air India’s first such pact with a member of the 27-member global airline alliance, after it joined the group in June this year. The code-sharing pact covers Air India’s domestic flights and Air Canada flights to Canada from London, Paris, Hong Kong and Shanghai.
Code-sharing agreements allow one airline to sell seats on another’s network and increase revenue.
Air India expects a four to five per cent growth in its revenue thanks to the wider commercial partnerships and integration of frequent-flyer programme with other Star Alliance carriers. This will boost business-class occupancy on Air India flights, which is currently at 45-50 per cent.
Frequent-flyer programme integration allows passengers to redeem miles on any of the Star Alliance airlines.
