The Competition Commission of Singapore has approved the proposed alliance between Singapore Airlines and Virgin Australia.
SIA said the CCS decision “represents another step towards the two airlines being able to implement a deep and integrated alliance connecting Singapore Airlines’ global network with Virgin Australia’s wide range of Australian and Pacific destinations.â€
Singapore Airlines and Virgin Australia lodged an application with the relevant regulatory authorities in Singapore and Australia in June seeking approval to co-operate across a broad range of commercial functions.
Earlier this month, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) announced draft approval of the proposed alliance.
