IndiGo & Garuda Indonesia Seal Codeshare Deal to Boost India–Indonesia Connectivity

 A New Chapter in Seamless Regional Travel for Indian and Indonesian Markets

In a strategic move to enhance air connectivity between South Asia and Southeast Asia, IndiGo and Garuda Indonesia have signed a bilateral codeshare agreement. This collaboration enables passengers to travel smoothly between India and Indonesia via key hubs like Singapore, Bangkok, Jakarta, and Bali—all under a single itinerary with through-checked baggage.

This development marks a major milestone for both carriers as they strengthen their international footprint and improve access to two fast-growing markets.

What the Codeshare Partnership Offers

Under the new agreement:

• IndiGo customers can now book flights to 17 new destinations across Indonesia via Garuda’s network.

• Garuda Indonesia customers gain access to 7 major Indian cities through IndiGo’s expansive domestic and regional network.

• Travellers enjoy the benefit of a single booking experience, simplified baggage handling, and better flight connectivity, especially for business and leisure travellers targeting multiple stops.

This partnership directly reduces layover complexities and offers a more streamlined flying experience between two dynamic tourism and business corridors.

Leadership Perspectives

Abhijit DasGupta, Senior Vice President of Network Planning & Revenue Management at IndiGo, commented:

“This codeshare agreement with Garuda Indonesia allows us to deliver even more destination options to our customers. It reinforces our strategy to offer seamless and hassle-free connectivity across borders.”

Meanwhile, Ade R. Susardi, Commercial Director at Garuda Indonesia, emphasized the broader vision behind the alliance:

“India is an emerging high-potential market for us. This partnership with one of India’s largest airlines supports our efforts to enhance international access while driving inbound tourism to Indonesia.”

Strategic Value for B2B Travel Agents

For B2B travel professionals, this partnership opens up new itinerary possibilities between India and Southeast Asia, especially for:

• MICE travel (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Exhibitions)

• Inbound Indonesian tourism

• Luxury and spiritual travel circuits

• Corporate bookings involving multi-city routings

Additionally, this codeshare offers travel agents and consolidators an edge by allowing multi-sector bookings on a single PNR, enhancing operational efficiency and client satisfaction.

Why This Matters for the Regional Travel Ecosystem

This collaboration not only bridges critical connectivity gaps but also supports:

• Indonesia’s tourism revival efforts by improving access from one of Asia’s largest outbound markets.

• India’s growing demand for Southeast Asian holidays, with Bali and Jakarta ranking high on Indian travellers' wishlists.

• Enhanced aviation cooperation in the South Asia–ASEAN corridor, fostering more opportunities for corporate partnerships and investment.
