“This expansion, with a focus on the increased codeshare options from Delhi to six destinations within India, will provide customers with more opportunities and seamless connections, delivering a satisfying experience for premium customers in particular.”

For Air India, this strengthened partnership represents a major step in improving connectivity with Japan. “Our deepened partnership with ANA opens up Japan like never before for our guests,” said , Chief Commercial Officer of Air India.

“By providing easy access for our guests to ANA’s domestic Japan network, combined with ANA’s reach into Air India’s extensive Indian network, we’re creating a stronger bridge between our two nations—making travel simpler and truly rewarding for our common guests.”

The codeshare rollout will follow a phased schedule:

As part of the partnership, ANA Mileage Club members will continue to earn and redeem mileage on Air India flights, and Star Alliance members will have access to shared benefits, including priority services and lounge access.

With this expanded network, travelers can expect a smoother journey between India and Japan, benefiting from more flight options, reduced transit times, and greater convenience.
