Singapore Airlines and Air New Zealand in new partnership

Singapore Airlines and Air New Zealand will share flights to the UK, Europe, Africa and Asia via Singapore as part of a new alliance between the two flag-carriers.
Passengers will transfer at Singapore to one of SQ’s four daily flights to London or the wealth of Singapore Airlines flights to other destinations in the UK, Europe, South East Asia and Africa. The codeshare agreement will also extend to Singapore Airlines’s regional offshoot SilkAir.

In return, Singapore Airlines will stamp its SQ flight code onto all domestic and selected international Air New Zealand flights.


The partnership will also see Singapore Airlines’ flagship Airbus A380 appear on the daily Singapore-Auckland route during peak seasons, although the current Boeing 777-300ER will remain in place for most of the year.

Singapore Airlines CEO Goh Choon Phong described the alliance as "a genuine win-win partnership, enabling Singapore Airlines and Air New Zealand to work together to provide more flight frequency and enhanced travel options to our customers.”
“Air New Zealand is on a positive growth trajectory with a clear focus on Pacific Rim destinations” said Air New Zealand CEO Chris Luxon. “An alliance with Singapore Airlines clearly fits our business objectives of working with the right partners in the right markets to deliver seamless customer journeys."
