Now book your air and train tickets on Flipkart!

The online marketplace Flipkart, which has recently started its own digital product range, is all set to surprise its consumers with another major announcement anytime soon. Flipkart is in advanced talks with MakeMyTrip, the online travel company to start online ticketing platform on its portal.

As per an Economic Times report, Flipkart is planning to provide a one-stop shopping experience to its users by the end of this year.
A senior Flipkart employee, on condition of anonymity said, "We are planning to integrate ticketing powered by MakeMyTrip on the Flipkart marketplace, which means that a customer will be able to book air and rail tickets from the Flipkart platform."

The online ticketing platform MakeMyTrip, however, did not responded to the emails sent by ET, nor did Flipkart made any comments on the report.

The online travel marketplace, MakeMyTrip, which offers travel booking, mobile recharge and bill payments, is growing as a preferred pick by its consumers. In a market like India, where possibilities of online bookings is swelling with airline bookings estimated to account for over half of all ecommerce transactions, such pacts would surely be accepted by users.

Amazon too announced a partnership with Indian Railways subsidiary, IRCTC, and became the official partner of the online ticketing platform in March this year for two years.

Snapdeal, on the other hand bought online mobile recharge platform FreeCharge. The e-tailer also offers services like pest control, mobile and bill payments, and financial services such as home and personal loans.
