To enhance air connectivity between India and the Pacific region, IndiGo has signed a codeshare agreement with Jetstar, allowing Indian passengers to travel seamlessly to multiple destinations across Australia and New Zealand. The partnership, announced on Monday, will enable IndiGo to place its code on Jetstar-operated flights via transit hubs such as Singapore, Bangkok, and Phuket.

Under the arrangement, IndiGo customers will be able to access 14 new destinations across Australia and New Zealand using Jetstar’s network. The partnership will allow bookings on IndiGo’s website starting July 21 for travel commencing from September 1, 2025, subject to regulatory approvals.

The codeshare will provide a seamless travel experience with single-ticket bookings, integrated itineraries, and through check-in of baggage for the entire journey. Destinations covered under the agreement include major cities such as Sydney, the Gold Coast, and Auckland.

Jetstar CEO Stephanie Tully said in an official statement, “The partnership between the two airlines will significantly boost inbound tourism from India. Australia and New Zealand’s unique attractions, world-class experiences and growing communities of Indian expats make both countries incredibly popular for travellers from the subcontinent. This new codeshare agreement will provide IndiGo customers with convenient access to our extensive network allowing them to take off more for less down under.”

IndiGo described the move as part of its broader international expansion strategy. The airline expects the partnership to enhance connectivity, promote tourism, and support trade and cultural links between India and the Pacific region.

Abhijit Dasgupta, Senior Vice President - Network Planning & Revenue Management, IndiGo said in the official statement, “We are pleased to expand the horizons and offer our customers convenient connections from India to Australia and New Zealand. This codeshare agreement with Jetstar will further strengthen business, trade and tourism related travel between the countries while fostering cultural exchanges. This expansion is a part of IndiGo’s Internationalization strategy and commitment to delivering affordable, on-time, courteous, and hassle-free travel experience across our unparalleled network.”

With this agreement, IndiGo will serve as the marketing carrier while Jetstar operates the connecting flights from Asia to Australia and New Zealand. The deal aims to tap into rising demand from Indian travellers and the growing Indian diaspora in Oceania.
