New Delhi: German major Lufthansa, which has 56 weekly flights to four metros, is expanding its network in the country from Monday through a codeshare with Vistara.
With this tie-up, six new destinations — Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Kochi, Hyderabad, Goa and Pune — will be added to Lufthansa's network, that is currently limited to Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai and Delhi. More destinations in Vistara’s network will be brought under the ambit of the codeshare agreement from next year.
Lufthansa already has a codeshare with Air India, which the government has decided to divest in. Lufthansa and Vistara are in the final stages on enabling customers to earn miles flying Vistara or Lufthansa. From April 1, 2020, Lufthansa will start five times weekly on Bangalore-Munich route, taking its weekly frequency to 61 flights between the four Indian metros and its European hubs.
George Ettiyil, senior director sales for Lufthansa Group Airlines in South Asia, said: “This marks Lufthansa’s commitment to offering its Indian customers world-class international travel experiences and will enable them to use their preferred mileage program on codeshare routes. By teaming up with Vistara, we will strengthen and expand our position as the leading and most popular European airline in India – a country all set to become the third-largest aviation market in just a few years’ time.”
