Singapore Airlines Partnerships & Alliances
Singapore Airlines, recognized worldwide by its IATA code 'SQ', is a prestigious member of the Star Alliance. The airline has had a long-standing relationship with the Star Alliance, having joined this major global airline alliance in the year 2000. As part of the Star Alliance, Singapore Airlines has been able to enhance its global connectivity and offer an extended network to its passengers, linking over 1,300 destinations in more than 190 countries worldwide.
Outside the alliance, Singapore Airlines has an extensive network of codeshare partnerships with numerous air carriers around the world. Codeshare agreements are a type of airline partnership that enables an airline to sell seats on flights operated by its partner airlines, using its own flight number. This is particularly advantageous for passengers as it facilitates travel to destinations not directly served by Singapore Airlines. These codeshare agreements have helped Singapore Airlines to significantly broaden its network and offer passengers greater flexibility and convenience in their travel plans.
In addition to the codeshare partnerships, Singapore Airlines has several joint venture agreements. These joint ventures have allowed Singapore Airlines to synergize operations with partner airlines, leading to increased efficiencies and an improved product offering. One notable joint venture is with Lufthansa Group, covering flights between Singapore, Australia, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Belgium. This joint venture enhances both airlines' offerings, enabling them to provide increased flight frequencies, better connection times, and more convenient flight schedules to their customers.
