Air France-KLM\u00a0June 17, 2013<\/span><\/strong>: Air France-KLM and Jet Airways, India\u2019s premier international airline, will offer their customers more destinations between Europe and India thanks to mutual code-share agreements. This arrangement will significantly improve the choice of beyond flights for Air France-KLM customers to Indian cities. The new codeshare arrangement is open for sales as of today and for travel on June 19, 2013.
\nThe codeshare agreement enables Air France to market flights under AF flight numbers to key Indian cities beyond Bengaluru, Delhi and Mumbai. Customers travelling from Europe to India will now be able to connect seamlessly with one ticket to three new Indian domestic destinations operated by Jet Airways, to Chennai via Bengaluru, Delhi and Mumbai, as well as to Kolkata and Hyderabad via Mumbai and Bengaluru.

\nFurthermore, members of Jet Airways\u2019 JetPrivilege and Air France- KLM\u2019s Flying Blue frequent flyer programs have a full fledged network-wide accrual and redemption partnership in place for many years. With the codeshare in place, members will now have the opportunity to earn status miles\/points when travelling on the respective codeshare flights.
