‍DELHI — During the 2025 IATA AGM in New Delhi, Air India (AI) signed these interline agreements with airBaltic (BT), Bulgaria Air (FB), Cyprus Airways (CY), and Uzbekistan Airways (HY).

By allowing passengers to travel across continents with a single ticket, which connects AI flights with those of its partner airlines and offers coordinated baggage allowance and handling, the new alliances further solidify AI's position as a global connection.

Four Partners, One-stop Connectivity

• airBaltic: Provides access to Riga (Latvia), Tallinn (Estonia), and Vilnius (Lithuania) via Air India’s European gateways at Amsterdam, Paris, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, London Gatwick, Milan-Malpensa, Vienna, Zurich, or Dubai.

• Bulgaria Air: Provides access to Sofia via Air India’s gateways at London Heathrow, Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Milan, Zurich, and Tel Aviv, supporting travel to the vibrant Eastern European city. Air India guests can also take further onward connections from Sofia to other Bulgarian cities of Varna and Burgas.

Conversely, Air India will provide convenient access to more than 30 Indian cities to the customers of its four artner airlines, including but not limited to Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Amritsar, Goa, and Kochi.

In addition to providing passengers of the corresponding partner airlines with greater access to India, the partnerships will offer Air India guests seamless travel options to 16 more destinations across six countries in these regions.
