Bangkok Airways and Air India Announce Interline Partnership

Air India and Bangkok Airways Public Company Limited recently agreed to form an interline collaboration. Through this alliance, customers of Air India may easily connect to and from 10 locations in Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia on Bangkok Airways’ route network via Air India’s hubs in Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Singapore.

The implementation of Inter Airline Through Check-In (IATCI), which enables passengers to receive their boarding passes at the first point of departure for all sectors of travel on a single ticket, as well as having their luggage checked through to their final destinations, is included in the scope of the agreement between the two airlines. A Special Prorate Agreement between Bangkok Airways and Air India also enables both companies to submit “through fares” for routes that cross their respective networks.
