“Our objective is to enable codeshare connectivity to the US and Canada via our partnership with Turkish Airlines after the required application and approval process,” the airline said in a statement on Sunday.

InterGlobe Aviation Ltd., or IndiGo, the world’s biggest customer for Airbus SE’s best-selling A320neo jets, also said it’s constantly discussing “opportunities” with aircraft manufacturers, without elaborating.
Chief Financial Officer Gaurav Negi said February 3 that IndiGo wants compensation for aircraft grounded due to persistent supply-chain disruptions.
Those problems forced Airbus, the world’s largest plane-maker, to cut its target of delivering more than 700 aircraft last year. The global aviation industry has been grappling with shortages of parts such as engines and small components.
