Air India, Adria Airways and Aerodrome Ljubljana have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), agreeing to share their fleets of Airbus and CRJ aircraft.

The MoU also means Adria Airways can now access Air India’s network, landing more planes past Deli, whilst also giving Air India bigger access to the Eastern European market.

Currently, Adria Airways flies about 400,000 passengers throughout Germany, the Balkans and North America but could potentially fly a further 130,000 commuters between India and Eastern Europe. The airline says that with this new MoU it hopes to achieve this potential.
