National News: India's largest domestic airline, IndiGo, has now taken a big leap in the field of international flights. The company has announced a strategic partnership with Delta Airlines, Air France-KLM, and Virgin Atlantic. This alliance will not only increase the connectivity from India to the US, Canada, and Europe but will also completely change the international travel experience.
Announcement to buy 30 Airbus A350 for international expansion
IndiGo has decided to buy 30 Airbus A350 aircraft for long-haul flights for the first time. The delivery of these aircraft will start in 2027, and they will also help the company to strengthen its presence on trans-Atlantic routes. This will provide direct or easy-connection flights from Indian cities to cities like New York, Toronto, London, and Paris.
The strength of all three global partners will be added to IndiGo's network
IndiGo's domestic network is spread across every corner of India. Delta's stronghold in the US, Air France-KLM's extensive presence in Europe, and Virgin Atlantic's trans-Atlantic service - all these are going to provide passengers with excellent connectivity. Now passengers will be able to travel comfortably from Delhi to Paris or Mumbai to New York on a single ticket.
Indigo CEO said it will become a 'global brand' by 2030
Indigo CEO Peter Elbers called this partnership the beginning of "Global Udaan." He said that Indigo will no longer be just a domestic airline, but it will get an international identity by 2030. Through this collaboration, the company will establish new dimensions in the field of commercial partnership, operational excellence, and customer convenience.
India becomes aviation hotspot; airlines have their eyes set
The world's big airlines are now looking at India as a fast-growing market. The number of international passengers in the country is increasing rapidly. In such a situation, this partnership will bring revolutionary changes on all three fronts - travel demand, connectivity, and convenience.
