SINGAPORE Airlines (SIA) has started a new codeshare partnership with Philippine Airlines (PAL), increasing flight options between the Philippines and Singapore, as well as to other international destinations.
The codeshare agreement will start on SIA’s and PAL’s flights between Singapore and Manila by the fourth quarter of 2023, subject to regulatory approvals, said both airlines in a joint press statement on Wednesday (Nov 15).
Under the partnership, SIA will also codeshare on PAL’s flights from Manila to 27 destinations within the Philippines, including Cebu, Kalibo and Puerto Princesa.
PAL will codeshare on SIA’s flights to six destinations in Europe – Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Milan, Paris, Rome and Zurich.
Both carriers noted that these European codeshare sectors will be rolled out across PAL and SIA sales channels, as well as travel agents, over the coming weeks.
They will also explore expanding the codeshare agreement to include SIA’s flights to additional European cities, as well as destinations in Australia, India, New Zealand and South Africa.
