New Delhi [India], September 16 (ANI): IndiGo and AEGEAN, Greece’s flag carrier, have entered an MoU for a codeshare partnership to enable enhanced connectivity and a seamless experience for customers across their joint network.

The cooperation will enable both airlines to offer flights on each other’s networks, allowing AEGEAN to strengthen its connectivity into India and South Asia, while enabling more travel options for IndiGo customers on the former’s extensive domestic and European network.

Concurrently, IndiGo’s “6E” flight code will be added to AEGEAN domestic and European flights from its main hub at Athens International Airport. This partnership will allow enhanced convenience and seamless travel for customers between India, Greece and South Asia.
