SpiceJet enters into codeshare deal with Emirates

India’s airline major SpiceJet on Monday entered into a codeshare and interline agreement with Dubai-based Emirates airline, pending government approvals.

According to SpiceJet, the agreement will allow travellers to and from India to access a wider and a stronger route network.

This is the first-ever codeshare agreement signed by SpiceJet.

In aviation parlance, a codeshare allows two airlines to sell seats on each others’ flights to provide passengers with a wider choice of destinations.
