Top Indian airline IndiGo said on Thursday it signed a one-way codeshare agreement with Qatar Airways, letting the Middle Eastern airline get more access to the fast-growing Indian market.
The agreement will enable Qatar Airways to place its code on IndiGo flights between Doha and Delhi, Mumbai and Hyderabad, the companies said.
IndiGo, owned by InterGlobe Aviation, has about 40 per cent share of the domestic market and operates a large fleet of narrowbody aircraft.
The companies did not mention Qatar Airways making an equity investment in IndiGo, despite it having long expressed interest in doing so.
