ANA and Singapore Airlines expand strategic code-sharing agreement

TOKYO - ANA and Singapore Airlines have filed for permission to increase their present

code-sharing relationship to cover destinations in Asia, North America and Japan beyond the hub airports of Singapore Changi Airport and Tokyo Narita Airport, from September 1 this year.



Five destinations in Japan, from the southernmost island of Okinawa to Sapporo in the north, as well as Chicago and Washington DC in the United States will be added to Singapore Airlines’ network.



Four cities in India, in addition to Jakarta and Johannesburg will be added to the ANA network.



The two Star Alliance members began code-sharing on flights between Japan and Singapore in August 2004, at present covering 36 weekly flights operated by Singapore Airlines and 7 weekly flights operated by ANA .



The expanded agreement will further enhance customer convenience, allowing them to fly to an increased number of destinations using just one flight code for their entire journey – either NH for ANA flights, or SQ for Singapore Airlines flights.
