Air India and airBaltic Join Forces to Boost Travel Options Between India and Europe

Air India has entered into a codeshare partnership with the Latvian airline airBaltic to enhance travel options between India and Europe. This agreement allows passengers to enjoy seamless travel through combined networks and easier booking processes.

Key Highlights of the Partnership

• Passengers booking with Air India can access airBaltic’s extensive network across Northern and Eastern Europe.
• Connecting flights operate via airBaltic’s hub in Riga, Latvia, providing access to Baltic countries and other European cities.
• Travelers can book a single ticket for multi-flight journeys involving both airlines, ensuring convenience and better scheduling.

Benefits for Travelers and Airlines

1. Enhanced Connectivity: Air India expands its reach beyond its own flights, connecting more cities between India and Europe.
2. Modern Fleet and Network: airBaltic offers flights to many smaller European destinations, complementing Air India’s international routes.
3. Smoother Travel Experience: The partnership reduces travel times and simplifies connections with coordinated schedules.

The agreement, signed in late 2025, is already in effect with flights operating under the new arrangement. This collaboration is seen as a strategic move to strengthen both airlines’ position in the competitive aviation market and support the growth in tourism and business travel between India and Europe.

Travelers can now look forward to more flight options, better operational efficiency, and improved passenger experiences while flying between the two regions.
