IndiGo Launches New Routes to Australia and New Zealand via Jetstar Codeshare

Travellers planning trips between India, Australia, and New Zealand have reason to celebrate. IndiGo, India’s leading low-cost carrier, has announced a new codeshare partnership with Jetstar.

This alliance is set to unlock seamless connections for Indian flyers heading Down Under, making it easier than ever to explore the vibrant cities and natural wonders of Australia and New Zealand.

IndiGo-Jetstar Codeshare

With this codeshare, passengers can book a single ticket on IndiGo’s website, combining flights from India to Australia or New Zealand operated by both airlines.

The entire journey is streamlined with integrated baggage check-in and one itinerary, no more booking separate flights or rechecking bags mid-journey. Here’s how the codeshare works:

• IndiGo will place its airline code on select Jetstar-operated flights.
• These flights connect from Singapore, Bangkok, and Phuket to Sydney, Gold Coast, and Auckland.
• Travellers can book their entire journey, from India to Australia or New Zealand, in a single ticket.
• Through check-in for baggage will be available, which means you won’t need to recheck your bags during transit.

This is a big win for travellers who want simplified connections and fewer booking headaches.

New Destinations for IndiGo Flyers

Here are the key cities now accessible under this codeshare:

Destination	Country	Transit Hubs
Sydney	Australia	Singapore, Bangkok, Phuket
Gold Coast	Australia	Singapore, Bangkok, Phuket
Auckland	New Zealand	Singapore, Bangkok, Phuket

This opens up three major new cities for IndiGo customers without the need to switch between airlines and booking systems.

Why This Move Matters

Jetstar CEO Stephanie Tully highlighted that the partnership will help boost inbound tourism from India. Australia and New Zealand are top destinations for Indian tourists, students, and visiting family members, thanks to their natural beauty and large Indian diaspora.

IndiGo’s Senior VP Abhijit Dasgupta added that this deal is part of IndiGo’s international growth strategy. It’s not just about leisure—it’s also expected to help business and trade travel between India and these regions.

Key Benefits for IndiGo Customers

• Single itinerary across both airlines
• One-stop booking on IndiGo’s website
• Baggage checked through to the final destination
• Access to Jetstar’s budget-friendly fares
• Faster, smoother international connections

Whether you’re a tourist, student, or business traveller, this makes long-haul travel a whole lot easier and more affordable.
