Day after it announced launch of operations to Portugal and Switzerland, IndiGo Airlines has launched flights to four cities in France as well as Austria, in codeshare partnership with Turkish Airlines.

IndiGo Airlines, the largest airline in India, is an aggressive expansion drive in Europe, adding almost 10 destinations to its international route network in the space of a week. Days after IndiGo had announced adding Lisbon and Porto in Portugal and Geneva and Basel in Switzerland, IndiGo launches flights to Paris, Lyon, Toulouse and Nice in France as well as Salzburg in Austria.

All the flights to the newly-added destinations would be via Turkiye and have been initiated as part of the codeshare agreement between IndiGo Airlines and Turkish Airlines, says a press statement.

The statement adds that new routes will provide customers with multiple options and easy access to international destinations for the upcoming holiday season.

“Keeping the travel demand in mind, we have introduced new connections to Austria and France for our customers. In addition to business connectivity, customers will also have access to several tourist attractions in France and Austria along with an opportunity to witness white Christmas during the holidays. These new routes will not only strengthen international connectivity but also enhance capacity and thereby affordability for travel to Europe. We will strive to stay true to our promise of affordable fares, on-time performance, courteous and hassle-free service across wide network,” says Vinay Malhotra, Head of Global Sales, IndiGo Airlines.

The statement adds that these locations are well-known for their beautiful and spectacular tourist attractions. France, also known as the “centre of high culture,” is popular for landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and the Notre-Dame Cathedral in the capital of Paris. Not only that, but France is also known around the world for its fashion, culture, art, and movies. Customers who want to wander around the streets and parks, enjoy the café terraces, and appreciate the architecture and French ‘good living’ should visit Paris.

Famous for its architectural landmarks, Lyon is home to UNESCO World Heritage sites like the Fourvière hill, the Presqu’île, and the Croix-Rousse slopes. Nice, France’s fifth largest city, is regarded as a hub for research in industry, science, and advanced technology, whereas Toulouse is a great destination for travellers interested in traditional French culture as well as modern metropolitan facilities, says the statement by the airline.

Along with its architectural works, Austria is popular for its castles, such as the Festung Hohensalzburg, Burg Hohenwerfen, Castle Liechtenstein, and Schloß Artstetten. It is also home to the Krimml Waterfalls which is Europe’s tallest waterfall. Furthermore, the country attracts visitors from across the globe for its national sport i.e skiing and boasts of some of the most beautiful skiing resorts in the world. One of the most attractive cities in Austria is Salzburg, less than 300 km from its capital Vienna.

IndiGo Airlines adds that the new flights are designed to cater to travellers who are constantly on the lookout for new and affordable flying options to access destinations which help in building businesses and are known for

their tourist attraction. Customers who wish to plan their travel can book tickets via our official website. The introduction of these flights will further bolster the international connectivity.
