SINGAPORE Airlines (SIA) and Air India will expand their codesharing partnership to offer customers more travel options between Singapore and India and other destinations.
SIA and Air India said in a joint media statement on Wednesday (Oct 23) that they will add 11 Indian cities and 40 international destinations to their codeshare network.
From Sunday, the two carriers will increase their weekly scheduled codeshare services to 56 from 14 and will codeshare on each others’ flights between Singapore and the Indian cities of Bengaluru and Chennai.
The codeshare flights will be progressively made available for sale through both airlines’ respective booking channels, subject to regulatory approvals.
Under the new partnership, SIA will codeshare on Air India’s domestic flights between various cities, including flights between Delhi and Amritsar, as well as between Mumbai and Kolkata, among others.
Beyond India, SIA customers will be able to connect to Air India’s flights to 12 destinations across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.
Air India customers will also be able to access 29 destinations across SIA’s network.
Both airlines plan to progressively include more destinations to the codeshare arrangements.
Noting that India is a key market for SIA Group, SIA chief commercial officer Lee Lik Hsin said: “Adding Air India’s domestic network to our codeshare arrangements will also offer our customers enhanced connectivity and convenience in India.”
