One Air India ticket can now take you across Europe. Step off the plane and access over 100 European cities via trains and buses
Attention, Air India travelers are in for an exciting journey that will seamlessly connect them to over 100 European cities and towns, even those without airports. This incredible opportunity has arisen due to a recent intermodal agreement between Air India and AccesRail, a trusted partner of the International Air Transport Association. Thanks to this collaboration, Air India passengers will gain access to a vast array of European destinations with just a single ticket.
Reports indicate that this partnership will empower Air India passengers to utilize bus and rail services while retaining the same generous baggage allowance they enjoy during their flights. Your European adventure doesn’t need to pause when you disembark from your flight; in fact, it can begin as soon as you step into the gateways of Europe.
Curious about which European countries you can explore with this innovative ticket? Well, get ready to traverse Austria, Belgium, Germany, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, and the United Kingdom, using major gateways such as Amsterdam, Birmingham, London Heathrow, London Gatwick, Milan, and Vienna. Your intermodal ticket purchase grants you access to a variety of transportation options, including Avanti West Coast (U.K.), National Express (U.K.), Trenitalia (Italy), ÖBB Austrian Railways (Austria), SNCB Belgian Railways, and Thalys (Netherlands/Belgium).
Air India is following the footsteps of Vistara, which earlier this year partnered with WorldTicket to offer connections via Deutsche Bahn rail services from Frankfurt to Germany on a single ticket. With this initiative, Air India is further enhancing the connectivity between Europe and India.
Nipun Aggarwal, Air India’s Chief Commercial & Transformation Officer, shared his thoughts on this development, stating, “Expanding our global network is a top priority in Air India’s comprehensive transformation. Our partnership with AccesRail not only provides our guests with easy access to an extended network of European destinations but also fills the connectivity gaps between India and Europe.”
Initially, these intermodal tickets can only be booked through global travel agents. However, Air India has plans to extend this booking facility to its own sales channels in the near future.
So, don’t wait! Book your tickets now and embark on a European adventure like never before.
