Turkish Airlines Plans

India's largest domestic carrier IndiGo said it is preparing to expand its reach majorly in the international sector, particularly in Europe and that a codeshare partnership with Turkish Airlines and nearly 500 aircraft on order from Airbus.

IndiGo has partnered with Turkish airlines to expand its reach to Europe and has ordered nearly 500 more aircraft as part of its expansion plan, said Vinay Malhotra, Head of International Sales.

To cater to the ever-growing transfer passenger traffic demand from India, Istanbul-based Turkish Airlines plans to exponentially expand services and add several new destinations, once bilateral air traffic rights between the two countries are enhanced, a senior company official told IANS.

Pilots at German airline Lufthansa plan to strike on Wednesday as they seek to raise the pressure on management in a long-running dispute over an early retirement scheme and plans to expand budget flights.

Jet was earlier planning to induct these wide-bodied planes, which are on lease with Turkish Airlines and will be coming back by October this year on completion of the lease period.

Jet Airways, which is in the process of finalising a stake sale deal with Etihad Airways, plans to extend its code share agreement with the Abu Dhabi-based carrier to the Mumbai-Brussels-Newark route, sources said on Tuesday.

Turkey plans to build what it said would be the largest airport in the world in Istanbul, eventually able to handle 150 million passengers per year, in a project seen costing more than 7 billion euros.
