IndiGo and AEGEAN Sign MoU for Codeshare Partnership
IndiGo and AEGEAN have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for a codeshare partnership aimed at enhancing connectivity and improving travel options for passengers across their combined networks. The agreement, subject to regulatory approvals, will enable both airlines to market flights operated by each other, thereby expanding travel options between India, Greece, South Asia, and Europe.
IndiGo will begin six weekly flights to Athens in January 2026 using its first Airbus A321XLR aircraft. AEGEAN plans to launch five weekly flights to Delhi and three weekly flights to Mumbai from March 2026.
Under the agreement, AEGEAN’s flight code “A3” will be added to selected destinations on IndiGo’s domestic and South Asia network. Simultaneously, IndiGo’s “6E” flight code will be added to AEGEAN’s domestic and European flights from its hub at Athens International Airport. This arrangement will enable passengers to enjoy integrated itineraries through check-in and a smoother travel experience between the two networks.
Pieter Elbers, CEO of IndiGo, said, “We are pleased to announce our partnership with AEGEAN, marking
a significant step forward in our mission to give wings to India and enhance global connectivity. This
collaboration enables our customers to conveniently book seamless itineraries on an expanded,
integrated network across both airlines, including beautiful islands in Greece and other regional
European destinations. As two ancient civilisations, India and Greece, reconnect through aviation; we
are excited to join hands with AEGEAN to meet the growing demand for international air travel and
foster stronger business ties between the two nations.”
Eftichios Vassilakis, Chairman of AEGEAN, commented, “We are delighted to establish a strategic
partnership with IndiGo, one of the fastest-growing airlines in the world. This step expands AEGEAN’s
footprint beyond Europe into one of the world’s most dynamic markets, strengthening the bridge
between Greece and India. By combining IndiGo’s extensive domestic network with AEGEAN’s European
reach, we offer to our passengers more choices and convenience, along with a seamless travel
experience. We look forward to joining forces with IndiGo and create new opportunities for cultural,
business and tourism exchanges”.
Additional details on the codeshare routes and booking timelines will be announced at a later stage.
