Avianca and Air India have signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at future collaboration between the two carriers.

The primary aim of the memorandum is a future codeshare agreement.

The signing was held in New Delhi at a meeting of Star Alliance member airline CEOs.

“We are always looking for new ways to improve flight options for our passengers and we look forward to working with Air India to implement this bilateral codeshare agreement in the near future,” said Fabio Villegas, CEO of Avianca. “The new agreement represents for the passengers of Air India and Avianca access to more cities, better connection times and the possibility of a smoother trip at a much more competitive rate.”

India remains a large potential source market for the wider Caribbean region.
