Singapore Airlines (SIA) has signed an agreement to codeshare on flights operated by Alaska Airlines.

Subject to regulatory approvals, the agreement will take effect on 27 September 2017.

The destinations are: Anchorage, Baltimore, Boise, Hailey (Sun Valley), Loreto, Los Cabos, Mammoth Lakes, Medford, Mexico City, Minneapolis, Orange County, Portland, Puerto Vallarta, Salt Lake City, San Jose, Santa Rosa, Seattle and Washington (Reagan National).

Existing codeshare flights operated by Virgin America, acquired by Alaska Air Group in 2016, on routes serving 19 destinations within the US will also be included under the new agreement. Those destinations are: Austin, Boston, Chicago, Dallas (Love Field), Denver, Fort Lauderdale, Honolulu, Indianapolis, Kahului, Las Vegas, Nashville, New York (John F Kennedy), Newark, Orlando, Palm Springs, Portland, San Diego, Seattle and Washington (Dulles).

“Our new partnership with Alaska Airlines enables us to improve connectivity between Singapore and the important North American market, providing customers with more codeshare destinations and enhanced KrisFlyer benefits.
