SIA, Lufthansa expand codeshare operations

SINGAPORE Airlines (SIA) and the Lufthansa Group are expanding their partnership agreement via additional connections and new codeshare destinations.

This is the result of a joint-venture agreement inked between the two airline groups in November 2015.

"The expanded codeshare ties will provide SIA customers convenient access to over 20 new routes on Lufthansa- and Swiss-operated flights, to and from points in Europe via the transfer hubs of Frankfurt, Munich and Zurich," said SIA. Among them are cities such as Bucharest, Lisbon, Madrid, Marseille, Lyon, and Venice.

In turn, Lufthansa and Swiss customers will be able to access new points, via SIA-operated flights between Singapore and destinations such as Canberra, Dusseldorf and Wellington.

SIA's regional wing SilkAir will also progressively introduce new codeshare flights with the Lufthansa Group.
