Singapore Airlines and Virgin Australia have progressed to the next phase of their partnership to include codesharing on SIA-operated flights to and from Singapore, China and South Africa.
The partnership kicked off last year (see story here), which included SIA’s “SQ” code appearing on Virgin Australia’s domestic flights as well as reciprocal frequent flyer benefits, such as mileage accrual and redemption.
From now onwards, Virgin Australia passengers can book SIA flights from Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Darwin and Adelaide to Singapore, Shanghai and Beijing with a single ticket. From April 13, Cape Town and Johannesburg will also be available.
Eventually, the codeshare deal will include more destinations, “including India, Malaysia, Japan, Thailand and Indonesia.”
