The addition of the Bengaluru route follows the launch of direct services from Australia to Delhi last year.

This new direct route has been possible with the partnership between Qantas and the NSW Government through the Aviation Attraction Fund.

Qantas and IndiGo Partnership:

Qantas has recently launched the first phase of its codeshare partnership with IndiGo, India’s largest domestic carrier. There are currently 11 destinations available for connection on IndiGo from Bengaluru, including Mumbai, Goa, Kolkata and Chennai. The codeshare will continue to roll out over the coming months, broadening access for Qantas customers travelling throughout India.
