Jet Airways, Fiji Air tie up for code share

Domestic private carrier Jet Airways said it has tied-up with Fiji Airways to provide seamless air connectivity between India and Fiji via Singapore and Hong Kong with code share flights.

As part of the pact, which is effective from March 8, the passengers of Jet Airways will be allowed to travel Nadi in the pacific nation, using Fiji Airways network.

Similarly, the passengers of Fiji Airways will be allowed to travel to Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai on Jet Airways flight to these places from Singapore.

The Jet Airways flight from Hong Kong to Mumbai and Delhi will also be operated as code-share flight, Jet Airways said in a release.

Code-sharing allows an airline to book its passengers on its partner carriers and provide seamless travel to destinations where it has no presence.

The agreement, a first-of-its-kind between the airlines of the two countries, will address the growing demand for travel between India and Fiji, it said.
