Singapore Airlines announced the start of codesharing on Australian domestic flights operated by alliance partner Virgin Australia.

This will provide customers travelling to and from Australia with more travel options and seamless connections.

Singapore Airlines currently serves five Australian cities, namely Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney. With the “SQ” designator code on Virgin Australia-operated flights, 20 more cities have been added to SIA’s codeshare network. Tickets for the codeshare flights are now open for sale.

Singapore Airlines Executive Vice President Commercial, Mak Swee Wah, said: “Our customers across the globe can now enjoy seamless access to more parts of Australia through Virgin Australia’s extensive domestic network. This opens up a wide range of itineraries to both business and leisure travellers alike, with the fullservice convenience that customers expect of Singapore Airlines.”

The alliance also enables members of Singapore Airlines’ KrisFlyer frequent flyer programme to earn and redeem miles for Virgin Australia flights, in addition to offering eligible customers access to Virgin Australia lounges. Details of the codeshare sectors are available on singaporeair.com.
