Malaysia Airlines and Singapore Air agree wide-ranging commercial agreement
Malaysia Airlines and Singapore Airlines have deepened their relationship.
Subject to regulatory approvals, the two neighbouring national airlines have proposed closer business ties for revenue sharing on flights between Singapore and Malaysia.
They will also join hands for expanded codesharing, joint marketing activities, and align frequent-flyer programmes.
It follows the signing of a memorandum of understanding earlier this year.
Flights to Singapore and Malaysia will operate under a joint business arrangement by offering joint fare products which could include inclusive air passes allowing customers regional connections on a single ticket.
Codesharing will be significantly expanded with more than a dozen new Malaysian destinations phased in over time.
"We are very pleased to take our partnership with Malaysia Airlines to a new level. This will be a win-win for both our airline groups, and provide new benefits for our customers," said SIA CEO, Goh Choon Phong.
The enhanced cooperation will cover SIA’s subsidiaries SilkAir and Scoot as well as Malaysia Airline’s regional operator Firefly.
