These will be an airline’s first non-stop flights between Australia and southern India and will cut almost three hours off Sydney’s current fastest travel time to Bengaluru, growing technology and financial services hub.

“With a population of 13 million people, the Bengaluru community has strong connections to Australia for business travel and people visiting friends and relatives. These trade connections are expected to strengthen following the recent announcement of the Australia-India free trade agreement,” Qantas said.

Qantas started Sydney-Delhi and Melbourne-Delhi flights last year. It will continue to operate up to five flights a week between Melbourne and Delhi, “making it the only airline offering direct flights between Australia and both northern and southern India.”

Planned codeshare agreement set to open up in India 

Qantas says it intends to enter into a codeshare agreement with IndiGo, India’s largest domestic carrier, which will give customers improved one-stop access to more than 50 Indian cities.

“The proposed agreement will mean Qantas passengers can transit seamlessly from Qantas flights in Bengaluru, Delhi, or Singapore onto IndiGo services to other major Indian cities as well as smaller ones such as Pune and Goa,” it said.

“Qantas customers travelling on IndiGo will enjoy the same baggage allowance for the entire journey as well as complimentary food and drinks. The partnership will extend to Jetstar customers who will be able to book connecting flights on IndiGo services through its Jetstar Connect platform on jetstar.com from late April.”
