- The new deal covers 126 weekly flights and follows their January cooperation pact, after SIA bought a 25.1% stake in Air India in November 2024.

SINGAPORE – Travellers will soon have more flights options between Singapore and eight Indian cities, as Singapore Airlines (SIA) and Air India kick off the first set of initiatives under its new strategic partnership .

In a joint statement on Oct 7, both airlines said travellers will be able to book eligible flights between India and Singapore operated by either airline on a standalone basis through the other carrier’s website, mobile app and appointed travel agencies from Oct 15 .

Currently, an eligible Air India-operated code-share flight booked through SIA must include an SIA-operated flight, and vice versa.

The airlines said the new initiatives will offer customers a wider range of itinerary and flight options through their respective booking channels.

It will cover 126 weekly flights between Singapore and eight Indian cities: Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, New Delhi, Hyderabad, Kochi, Kolkata and Mumbai.

The changes are part of a commercial cooperation framework agreement inked by both airlines in January.

SIA acquired a 25.1 per cent stake in Air India in November 2024.

Air India and SIA currently codeshare on 77 destinations across 27 countries and territories. The airlines had signed a codeshare partnership in October 2024 .

In their statement, Air India and SIA also announced new initiatives for its Maharaja Club and KrisFlyer members from the second quarter of 2027.

Members will be able to enjoy enhanced reciprocal benefits on eligible routes, in addition to their existing Star Alliance privileges.

Meanwhile, Maharaja Club Platinum and KrisFlyer PPS Club members will enjoy priority check-in and boarding privileges, alongside other top-tier members of the respective airlines.

Maharaja Club Silver and KrisFlyer Elite Silver members will also receive additional baggage allowances and priority boarding benefits on eligible routes.

This follows a recent move by the airlines in April to improve reciprocal mileage accrual benefits for their members by expanding eligible booking class options and revising earn rates across all cabin classes.

Said Air India’s chief commercial officer Nipun Agarwal: “Strategic partnerships will play a key role in Air India’s evolution into a leading, world-class global airline... As demand for travel between our countries continues to grow, this partnership positions us to serve that opportunity even better.”

SIA’s chief commercial officer Lee Lik Hsin added that the first phase of its strategic commercial partnership with Air India marks an important step towards delivering greater benefits and a more seamless experience for customers.

“Demand for travel between Singapore and India remains strong, and this partnership will give customers greater choice and convenience, as well as enhanced reciprocal benefits for our frequent flyer members,” he said.

“Customers can look forward to more initiatives that give them more options, and strengthen connectivity between the two countries.”

Air India and SIA also said that they are working on further customer-focused initiatives.

These include improved schedule connectivity to reduce layovers and waiting times, enhanced offerings for corporate customers and additional measures to streamline the travel experience.

- 从 10 月 15 日起，新加坡航空公司和印度航空公司将允许旅客通过两家航空公司的网站、应用程序和旅行社预订新加坡与印度八个城市之间的符合条件的航班。

- 新协议涵盖每周 126 个航班，此前新加坡航空于 2024 年 11 月收购了印度航空 25.1% 的股份，并于 1 月份签署了合作协议。

从 2027 年起，常旅客将获得更好的互惠福利，同时两家航空公司计划提供更顺畅的转机服务、更少的转机时间和更多以客户为中心的改变。

新加坡——随着新加坡航空公司（SIA）和印度航空公司启动其新的战略合作伙伴关系下的第一批举措，旅客很快将有更多往返新加坡和印度八个城市的航班选择。

10 月 7 日，两家航空公司在一份联合声明中表示，从 10 月 15 日起，旅客可以通过另一家航空公司的网站、移动应用程序和指定的旅行社单独预订由其中一家航空公司运营的印度和新加坡之间的符合条件的航班。

目前，通过新加坡航空预订的符合条件的印度航空运营的代码共享航班必须包含新加坡航空运营的航班，反之亦然。

航空公司表示，新举措将通过各自的预订渠道为客户提供更广泛的行程和航班选择。

该航线将覆盖新加坡与印度八个城市（艾哈迈达巴德、班加罗尔、钦奈、新德里、海得拉巴、科钦、加尔各答和孟买）之间每周 126 个航班。

这些变化是两家航空公司在1月份签署的商业合作框架协议的一部分。

新加坡航空于 2024 年 11 月收购了印度航空 25.1% 的股份。

印度航空和新加坡航空目前在27个国家和地区的77个目的地开展代码共享合作。两家航空公司于2024年10月签署了代码共享合作协议。

印度航空和新加坡航空在声明中还宣布，从 2027 年第二季度起，将为 Maharaja Club 和 KrisFlyer 会员推出新的举措。

除了现有的星空联盟特权外，会员还将能够在符合条件的航线上享受更完善的互惠权益。

与此同时，Maharaja Club Platinum 和 KrisFlyer PPS Club 会员将与其他各自航空公司的顶级会员一样，享受优先办理登机手续和登机的特权。

Maharaja Club 银卡会员和 KrisFlyer Elite 银卡会员在符合条件的航线上还将获得额外的行李额度和优先登机待遇。

此前，航空公司在 4 月份采取了一系列措施，通过扩大符合条件的预订舱位选择范围和调整所有舱位等级的里程累积率，来改善会员的里程互惠累积福利。

印度航空首席商务官尼蓬·阿加瓦尔表示：“战略伙伴关系将在印度航空发展成为领先的世界级全球航空公司的过程中发挥关键作用……随着两国之间旅行需求的持续增长，此次合作将使我们能够更好地把握这一机遇。”

新加坡航空首席商务官李力新补充说，与印度航空战略商业合作的第一阶段标志着朝着为客户提供更大利益和更无缝体验迈出了重要一步。

“新加坡和印度之间的旅行需求依然强劲，此次合作将为乘客提供更多选择和便利，并为我们的常旅客会员带来更多互惠福利，”他说道。

“客户可以期待更多举措，这些举措将为他们提供更多选择，并加强两国之间的联系。”

印度航空和新加坡航空也表示，他们正在制定更多以客户为中心的举措。

这些措施包括改善航班时刻表衔接，以减少中途停留和等待时间；增强对企业客户的服务；以及采取其他措施来简化旅行体验。
