Air India Signs Intermodal Agreement With WorldTicket
Those travelling to Germany on an Air India flight will appreciate this new development. The carrier has inked an intermodal interline agreement with WorldTicket, the exclusive distributor for Europe’s largest railway operator – Deutsche Bahn.
This enables Air India customers to travel on a single intermodal ticket beyond Frankfurt to over 5,600 train stations in Germany on the Deutsche Bahn network. It especially comes in handy for travelling to cities without airports. Furthermore, the travellers can take train connections to and from Amsterdam, Brussels and Zurich via Air India’s Frankfurt link and benefit from the same baggage allowance as allowed on the flights. WorldTicket, an IATA travel partner, also has its AOC-holding airline – FlexFlight (W2).
Before this partnership, Air India entered into a similar intermodal agreement to provide travellers access to a network of rail and bus operators across the UK, Italy, Austria, Belgium and the Netherlands. Presently, intermodal tickets are available with travel agents worldwide. Progressively, it will be extended to Air India’s own sales channels.
