SIA-Lufthansa venture gets Singapore competition panel's nod

Singapore

SINGAPORE Airlines (SIA) and the Lufthansa Group have received the green light from the Competition Commission of Singapore (CCS) for their proposed joint venture (JV), which received approvals from the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission last month.

Through the JV - which was first announced last year - the two airlines will be able to offer passengers an expanded network and seamless travel connectivity between Europe and Asia.
