New Delhi, August 31

The country’s largest airline IndiGo and British carrier Virgin Atlantic on Wednesday announced a codeshare agreement. Under the pact, Virgin Atlantic will be allowed to sell seats to passengers connecting onto IndiGo flights.

Under the partnership, customers booking a Virgin Atlantic ticket will be able to fly on the airline’s London (Heathrow) to Delhi and Mumbai flights and connect to and from seven additional cities in India.

Codesharing allows an airline to book its passengers on its partner carriers and provide seamless travel to destinations where it has no presence.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
