BENGALURU: Come September 14, 2022, South India will for the first time be directly connected with Australia. Qantas on Friday announced its second India nonstop - Sydney-Bengaluru-Sydney - that will operate four times a week on its Airbus A330. Sydney-Bengaluru nonstop return fares start from Rs 78,380. Qantas already has five flights a week between Melbourne and Delhi.
Qantas is also finalising a codeshare partnership with IndiGo. "Travellers are also set to benefit from improved one-stop access to Sydney from more than 50 Indian cities, as part of a proposed codeshare agreement between Qantas and IndiGo. The proposed codeshare agreement will enable seamless connections via Bengaluru, Delhi, or Singapore into Australia's largest capital cities," IndiGo and Qantas said in a joint statement.
