DUBAI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM - 22nd Apr, 2019) Emirates airline and SpiceJet have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to enter into a reciprocal codeshare agreement, which is set to open new routes and destinations for passengers travelling between India and destinations across Africa, America, Europe, and the middle East.
Subject to necessary government approvals, the partnership will enable Emirates’ passengers to enjoy seamless connectivity on flights to India, and adding six new destinations: Amritsar, Jaipur, Pune, Mangalore, Madurai, and Calicut - to the nine existing cities in India served by Emirates.
This will bolster Emirates’ already-extensive network adding a total of 67 weekly connections between Emirates’ hub in Dubai to these six fast-growing destinations in India. This includes increased domestic connectivity from Emirates’ nine Indian gateways to points such as Goa, Hubli, Guwahati, Vishakhapatnam, and Tuticorin which would allow for a greater variety of travel options between both Emirates and SpiceJet flights.
"Our journey in India has been defined by progressive investment, partnership, and growth.
We constantly try to improve and provide our customers with greater flexibility and travel choices. This partnership with SpiceJet and the mutual expansion of our network will go a long way in further enhancing the travel experience of our customers in India as well as those heading into India, benefiting travellers and businesses alike," said Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ Divisional Senior Vice President, Strategic Planning, Revenue Optimisation and Aeropolitical affairs.
The agreement will also open up flights for Indian travellers to North and South American destinations such as New York, Washington, Toronto, and Sao Paulo as well as Middle Eastern destinations such as Jeddah, Kuwait, and Amman, operated by Emirates.
SpiceJet passengers travelling from Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Amritsar, Jaipur, Pune, Mangalore, Madurai, Kozhikode and 41 other domestic destinations that the airline operates to, will be able to access Emirates’ expansive network across the globe.
SpiceJet is India’s second-largest airline in terms of domestic market share. Founded in 2005, it now serves 51 cities in India and nine international destinations.
