A new partnership: Icelandair and Air India
At Icelandair, we're always looking for new ways to deliver more and better travel opportunities to you. We're delighted to announce a new codeshare agreement between Icelandair and Air India, bringing greater connectivity between Iceland and India.
Icelandair and Air India sign a codeshare agreement
On June 2, 2025, we announced our new codeshare partnership with Air India, significantly boosting connectivity between India and Iceland, while offering seamless travel options across 15 routes in India and Europe.
This strategic partnership strengthens travel and trade ties between India and Iceland, offering passengers greater flexibility and choice while ensuring a smooth travel experience with convenient connections times, unified baggage allowances, and enhanced connectivity through major European hub airports.
We signed the codeshare agreement on the sidelines of the 81st IATA Annual General Meeting in New Delhi.
Under this codeshare agreement:
- Air India customers will gain seamless access to Icelandair-operated flights to Reykjavík (KEF) via Air India’s European gateways. Air India will add its ‘AI’ designator code on Icelandair-operated flights between Reykjavik and London Heathrow, London Gatwick, Frankfurt, Paris, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Milan, and Zurich.
- Icelandair customers will benefit from convenient connections on Air India-operated flights to key Indian cities. Icelandair will add its ‘FI’ designator code on Air India-operated flights between Delhi and Amsterdam, Paris, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, London Heathrow; and between Mumbai and Frankfurt, London Heathrow.
Subject to regulatory approvals, the codeshare flights will be progressively made available for sale through the airlines’ respective booking channels.
