India-based airline Jet Airways is hoping to agree an alliance with South Africa Airways.
In addition, the airlines could also sell tickets for domestic connection routes to Cape Town and a number of Indian cities, reports Financial Express.
A Jet Airways official said: “The two carriers would code-share on the trunk Mumbai-Johannesburg route. The issue is currently pending with [the] civil aviation ministry.
“The code-share with the South African carrier would help us get more passengers.”
Jet Airways launched the new Mumbai to Johannesburg route in April using the carrier’s A330-200 aircraft.
The airline recently reported a profit after tax of $2.8 million (£1.74 million) for the second quarter of 2010, ending September 30th.
