INDIA'S Jet Airways and Garuda Indonesia yesterday concluded a codeshare agreement and launched a reciprocal frequent flyer programme.
Under the terms of the agreement, Jet Airways will place its code on Garuda-operated services between Singapore and Jakarta, while Garuda will do the same on Jet Airways’ flights linking Singapore to Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai.
The new frequent flyer programme will allow members to accumulate and redeem miles on all flights within the partner airline’s network.

With the seamless connections offered by this arrangement, we are confident that this codeshare will see a further increase in demand for business and leisure travel between India and Indonesia.”
Jet Airways is also preparing to enter further codeshare agreements with Malaysia Airlines, Vietnam Airlines, American Airlines and Kenya Airways (TTG Asia e-Daily, September 11, 2013) .
