In partnership with AccessRail, an intermodal interline agreement will allow travelers to seamlessly switch from flights to trains or buses for their onward journey. A single ticket covers flights and ground transportation, with baggage allowance matching the flight. This user-friendly service will soon be available via the airline's sales channels.   This initiative extends from India to numerous European countries, covering over a hundred cities in Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy, and the UK.
