SIA, Lufthansa tie-up to sweeten codeshare agreement

Customers can look forward to 20 new routes.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) and the Lufthansa Group are expanding their codeshare agreement to provide customers more benefits through enhanced connections and new codeshare destinations.

According to SIA’s press release, the expanded codeshare ties will give SIA customers access to 20 new routes on Lufthansa- and Swiss- operated flights, to and from points in Austria, Belgium, Germany, and Switzerland through the transfer hubs of Munich and Zurich.

In turn, Lufthansa and Swiss customers will be able to access codeshare travel on SIA-operated flights on routes serving destinations in Southeast Asia and the Southwest Pacific.

“The expanded codeshare operations are the result of a joint venture agreement signed between the two airline groups in November 2015, which aims to deepen co-operation in key markets in Europe, Southeast Asia and Australia,” SIA reports.

“The new codeshare flights will be progressively made available through SIA’s various booking channels,” it adds.
