IndiGo has expanded its codeshare agreement with KLM, the Netherlands’ national airline, providing its passengers with enhanced access to destinations across Europe and the United Kingdom through KLM’s network, the airline said.
The agreement will allow IndiGo to place its code on KLM operated routes to 30 destinations across these regions, via Amsterdam. IndiGo has recently commenced its nonstop, long-haul operations from Mumbai to Amsterdam using its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft, damp-leased from Norse Atlantic Airlines.
This agreement builds upon the Memorandum of Understanding between IndiGo, Delta Air Lines, Air France-KLM, and Virgin Atlantic, signed during the 81st IATA AGM in June 2025.
The airline group had announced an industry-leading partnership to offer seamless connectivity options across North America, the UK, Europe, India and beyond. The partnership aims to meet the rising demand for international travel and make flights more convenient and hassle-free, IndiGo said.
In 2022, IndiGo and KLM finalized a codeshare partnership providing KLM customers with access to 24 destinations on IndiGo’s network.
According to IndiGo, through this extended cooperation, the airline seeks to expand its reach to 30 destinations across Europe and the UK including, but not limited to, Paris, Berlin, Geneva, Madrid, Brussels, London, Helsinki, Oslo, Prague and Stockholm.
Pieter Elbers, CEO of IndiGo, said, “We are delighted to deepen our partnership with KLM, providing our customers with greater convenience when traveling across Europe and the UK through Schiphol airport, one of the biggest European hubs.”
“This collaboration aligns with our vision of giving wings to the nation and fostering more opportunities for boosting trade and tourism between India, Europe and rest of the world.”
Marjan Rintel, CEO of KLM, said, “We are pleased to take the next step in our collaboration with IndiGo by expanding our codeshare agreement. This allows travellers easier connections between India and Europe, including the UK, via our hub in Amsterdam, and gives IndiGo customers access to the extensive network KLM has to offer.”
“This expansion further strengthens the ties between our regions and connects people and opportunities across continents offering them more choice and flexibility.”
Customers can now book their travel itineraries across Europe and the UK on IndiGo’s website or mobile application starting August 01, 2025, for travel from August 11, 2025 (subject to regulatory approvals).
Along with an integrated travel itinerary, customers will also enjoy through check-in of baggage among other benefits, IndiGo said.
