SIA, Malaysia Airlines get approval for revenue sharing partnership
Singapore Airlines and Malaysia Airlines have been given approval their strategic partnership.
Singapore’s Competition and Consumer Commission gave the green light allowing joint sales, marketing and revenue sharing on flights.
The airlines signed an agreement before the pandemic.
The tie-up hopes to boost cross-border traffic and to Singapore and Malaysia from other markets.
The partnership will also expand codesharing routes.
The CCCS granted conditional approval, with a full review when the post-pandemic recovery is in full swing.
The regulator will then look at competition and pricing on Singapore – Malaysia routes.
The CCCS noted objections raised by third parties over the agreement, but said any impact would be very limited until air travel fully recovers.
