Air India enters intermodal interline agreement with Deutsche Bahn
Air India on Thursday announced that it has entered an intermodal interline agreement with WorldTicket, the exclusive distributor for Europe’s largest railway operator, Deutsche Bahn.
With this collaboration, Air India passengers will be able to travel on a single intermodal ticket beyond Frankfurt with train connections to or from other cities and towns across Germany, including those without airports, on Deutsche Bahn.
The agreement will allow travellers to connect to and from over 5600 train stations in Germany on the Deutsche Bahn network.
Travellers can also take train connections on Deutsche Bahn to and from Amsterdam, Brussels, and Zurich via Air India’s Frankfurt gateway, said the airline in a statement.
Travellers will get the benefit of the same baggage allowance on the rail routes as offered by Air India on its own flights.
“We observe substantial passenger traffic on our Frankfurt flights that further connects to and from other German cities and towns, and this partnership addresses the needs of an increasing number of such guests. We are delighted to be working with WorldTicket and Deutsche Bahn in this effort,” said Nipun Aggarwal, Chief Commercial & Transformation Officer, Air India.
Air India recently entered another similar intermodal partnership to provide travellers access to an extensive network of rail and bus operators in the UK, Italy, Austria, Belgium, and the Netherlands.
