“We want to offer travelers in India a new standard of travel”
André Schwämmlein, co-founder and CEO of Flix, says:
"We are continuing our profitable growth strategy globally. With India, we are now expanding our network into South Asia – just four months after entering the Chilean market. We want to offer travelers in India a new standard of travel. As in every market where we launch with Flixbus, we aim to become the market leader here as well."
Also Volker Wissing, Federal Minister for Digital Affairs and Transport, congratulates:
"The expansion of the German company Flix not only contributes to global connectivity, but also promotes efficient and thus sustainable transport solutions. Flixbus is now active in over 40 countries and on four continents – and will soon also be active on the Indian subcontinent. We wish the company much success on this new path."
