Jet Airways and Virgin Atlantic today expanded their codeshare agreement between India and the US by enhanced connectivity via London.
"The new agreement will make it even easier for guests to tailor their travel by combining flights from Jet, Virgin Atlantic and Delta Airlines," the airlines said.
The new codeshare will come into play from April 19, and accordingly, flyers travelling between India and the US can connect through London Heathrow on to nine US destinations operated by Virgin Atlantic. The new routes are Atlanta, Boston, Newark, Washington, NYC, Los Angeles, Miami, San Francisco and Seattle.

This expansion builds on the existing pact between Jet and Virgin in place since 2009. In 2015 this codeshare was extended on to Jet domestic services allowing Virgin guests to travel between Heathrow and five Indian cities.

Last October, Jet and Delta entered into a codeshare between India and US over London, where Delta guests flying between North America and India can connect on Jet flights to 20 Indian cities and 18 US  cities, including Atlanta, Boston, Detroit, New York-JFK, Austin, Las Vegas and Tampa.

Ageing population could push UK debt to record levels, OBR warns

  • OBR warns UK debt could become unsustainable without policy action.
  • Ageing population and rising public spending expected to add pressure.
  • Treasury says its fiscal plan will keep borrowing under control.

The UK's national debt could rise to unsustainable levels unless governments act sooner rather than later, according to the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR). In its latest Fiscal Risks and Sustainability Report, the UK's independent fiscal watchdog warned that delaying action would make it harder and more expensive to bring public finances back under control.

The report suggests that long-term pressures, including an ageing population, higher spending on healthcare, pensions, defence and the transition to net zero, could steadily increase government borrowing over the coming decades. While the OBR stressed that its projections are not forecasts and assume no major policy changes, it said they highlight the scale of the challenge facing future governments.
