THE Competition Commission of Singapore (CCS) has cleared the proposed strategic alliance between Singapore Airlines (SIA) and Air New Zealand (Air NZ), noting that competition concerns which could arise from the tie-up would be offset by net economic benefits to Singapore.
In January, the two airlines unveiled a partnership which would see an expansion of capacity between Singapore and New Zealand, while giving each carrier access to specific destinations in the other's network. It also would mark Air NZ's re-entry into Singapore after it pulled out in 2006.
