SpiceJet inks codeshare flight agreement with Gulf Air to expand reach

To expand its international portfolio, low-cost carrier SpiceJet has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Bahrain-based Gulf Air “to explore greater cooperation”, including an interline and codeshare agreement.

If all goes by the plan, this will be the second codeshare partnership that SpiceJet will enter, after its pact with Emirates.

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

The scope of MoU also includes collaboration in the field of pilot training, coordinated cargo and engineering services.
