Air India customers gain access to 26 European destinations and three American destinations beyond its gateways in Europe—Frankfurt, Vienna, and Zurich—with the 'AI' designator code on services operated by airlines within the Lufthansa Group. This includes Austrian Airlines for the first time.

Dieter Vranckx of Lufthansa Group stated: “We are thrilled to strengthen our partnership with Air India... By further enhancing our cooperation... offer our passengers improved access to additional destinations.” Nipun Aggarwal of Air India added: “Our goal is to enable our customers to travel from any corner of the world... With this renewed partnership... more destinations.”

Both airlines plan future expansions of their network under these arrangements. They are members of Star Alliance; frequent flyers can earn points/miles on all four airlines while enjoying elite benefits like priority services.

Subject to regulatory approvals, these codeshare flights will be available through respective booking channels.
