Singapore Airlines and Virgin Australia have
expanded their codeshare agreement to cover further destinations
in Australia, Asia and Europe.
Codesharing has been extended with immediate
effect to all of Virgin Australia’s domestic destinations,
offering SIA customers access to 32 Australian cities.
SIA also intends to further expand codesharing
in the coming months to include trans-Tasman flights between
Australia and the New Zealand cities of Dunedin, Queenstown and
Wellington, subject to regulatory approval.
In the first quarter of 2013, Virgin Australia
will in turn extend its current codeshare with SIA to cover
connections from the East Coast of Australia to Europe and
additional cities in Asia, via SIA’s hub in Singapore.
In total, Virgin Australia customers will have
access to 64 destinations in Asia and 12 destinations in Europe on
the SIA and SilkAir networks from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane,
Adelaide, Perth and Darwin.
