IndiGo Expands into Long-Haul Routes with Jetstar Codeshare Agreement
One month after announcing the closure of its Singapore subsidiary, Jetstar has inked a new codeshare deal with IndiGo. It's a move that connects two major low-cost carriers.
The new agreement allows IndiGo passengers to book trips to 14 destinations in Australia and New Zealand on Jetstar flights through IndiGo's platform.
While Qantas, Jetstar's parent company, already has a codeshare with IndiGo, this new arrangement adds direct access to Jetstar's low-cost routes in Australasia, connecting via Singapore, Bangkok, and Phuket.
It comes at a time when IndiGo is steadily shifting from a regional airline to one with serious global ambitions.

T&G Global mulls options with main investor eyeing sale
New Zealand-based fresh-produce company T&G Global has said it is up for sale with its major shareholder looking to offload its stake. German conglomerate BayWa owns around 73% of the company, which cultivates and supplies fruit and vegetables distributed locally and internationally. T&G Global is listed on the New Zealand stock exchange and, on Friday (11 July), the company issued two announcements to the market. The first filing said the group had 'received a large number of expressions of interest in its business' after BayWa's announcement in December it was reducing its investments as part of wider corporate changes at the German group. BayWa, which does business in sectors including building materials and renewable energy, ended 2024 with a loss of around €1.6bn ($1.86bn). 'At this time, T&G Global is not aware whether BayWa has made a decision about its shareholding in T&G Global,' the filing read. 'T&G Global is itself going through a process to consider its strategic options. This includes sharing initial business information to determine if, at a potential stage in the future, it is appropriate to explore any form of sales process for any of its divisions.' The group said it had hired Craigs Investment Partners and would 'update the market accordingly'. Under seven hours later, T&G Global did make another update. 'T&G Global has now had the opportunity to review BayWa's consolidated financial report 2024 received overnight. It is noted in that report that BayWa is endeavouring to refocus on its traditional core business and that T&G Global group, as well as other businesses, are up for sale as part of a long-term reorganisation,' the company said. BayWa, which said in December it was weighing up selling its stake in T&G Global, confirmed in the report, published last Wednesday, it was looking for a buyer. 'For overall strategic reasons, the BayWa group is endeavouring to refocus on its traditional core business.' Proceeds will be used to pay down debt. Citing unnamed sources, The Australian Financial Review has reported that ROC Partners, an investor in Australia's agriculture sector, is interested in T&G Global. ROC Partners has investments in Wagyu beef, eggs, and almonds through Stone Axe Pastoral Company, Pace Farm and Lachlan River Almonds. T&G Global operates in 13 countries and distributes fresh produce in more than 55 markets. The company supplies citrus, berries, tomatoes, and packs various vegetables for its partners. Its brands include Lotatoes, Beekist tomatoes, and Orchard Rd. In 2024, the group reported a revenue of NZ$1.36bn ($809.5m), a 2.2% increase from 2023. The company's full-year loss before tax narrowed to NZ$6.8m, compared to a NZ$64.2m loss in 2023. It reported an operating profit of NZ$12.7m, as against a loss of NZ$45.6m in 2023.

Nvidia's Huang says 'doing our best' to serve Chinese market
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said on Wednesday his firm was "doing our best" to serve China's vast market for semiconductors after it secured permission from the United States to sell chips to the world's second-largest economy. Nvidia last week became the first company to hit $4 trillion in market value -- a new milestone in Wall Street's bet that artificial intelligence will transform the global economy. The firm now has a market value greater than the GDP of France, Britain or India, a testament to investor confidence that AI will spur a new era of robotics and automation. But it has also found itself in the crosshairs of a brutal China-US battle for dominance in semiconductor production, vital to the manufacturing of smartphones, wind turbines, military equipment and other goods. In a rare concession, Nvidia said on Tuesday it will resume sales of its H20 AI chips to China after Washington pledged to remove licensing restrictions that had halted exports. Huang is in the Chinese capital this week to attend the China International Supply Chain Expo, a forum for the country to boost its image as the global defender of free trade in contrast to the tariff chaos sparked by US President Donald Trump. - China 'open and stable' - He told reporters at that expo that top officials, including Vice Premier He Lifeng, had assured him this week that China was "open and stable". They discussed "China welcoming foreign companies to invest here and build businesses here and that China is open and stable", he said. Huang also said he assured them his firm was keen to serve the massive Chinese market for microchips needed in everything from mobile phones to electric vehicles. "They want to know that Nvidia continues to invest here, that we are still doing our best to serve the market here," he said. Huang also addressed the expo's opening ceremony on Wednesday morning, when he hailed China's role in pioneering AI. "China's open-source AI is a catalyst for global progress, giving every country and industry a chance to join the AI revolution," he said in reference to Chinese AI startup DeepSeek. Huang also praised China's "super-fast" innovation, powered by its "researchers, developers and entrepreneurs". - Opening up - The California-based company produces some of the world's most advanced semiconductors but cannot ship its most cutting-edge chips to China due to concerns that Beijing could use them to enhance military capabilities. Nvidia developed the H20 -- a less powerful version of its AI processing units -- specifically for export to China. That plan stalled when the Trump administration tightened export licensing requirements in April. But Nvidia said this week Washington had told it that "licences will be granted, and Nvidia hopes to start deliveries soon". The announcement from Nvidia boosted tech firms around the world, with Wall Street's Nasdaq exchange rising to another record high. Asked on Wednesday about whether he had sought to sway Trump on export controls before heading to China, Huang said: "I don't think I changed his mind." "It's my job to inform the president about what I know very well, which is the technology industry, artificial intelligence," he told reporters. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for America to have AI technology leadership," he said. Huang stressed that any discussion was between the Chinese and US governments and has "nothing to do with me". The tightened US export curbs come as China's economy wavers, with domestic consumers reluctant to spend and a prolonged property sector crisis weighing on growth. President Xi Jinping has called for greater self-reliance in the face of increasing external uncertainty. sam-pfc-oho/pbt/dhw Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
