Budget carrier IndiGo is likely to announce a codeshare partnership with Qatar Airways on November 7. This would allow the two carriers to sell seats on each others’ flights in order to provide passengers with a wider choice of destinations.
Shares of InterGlobe Aviation, which owns the airline, gained 1.77% to close at Rs 1,461.45 on BSE. The largest domestic carrier had signed its first codeshare pact in December 2018 with Turkish Airlines. IndiGo, in a statement on Tuesday, said the two airlines would make a strategic business announcement.
Qatar Airways chief executive officer Akbar al Baker in the past has shown interest in investing in IndiGo.
