Virgin Australia and Singapore Airlines to resume codeshare

Virgin Australia plans to resume its codeshare flights with longstanding alliance partner Singapore Airlines to a host of destinations across Singaporean flag carrier’s global network.

The Australia-based airline says it will codeshare on 42 destinations covering 23 countries on the Singapore Airlines network, including Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, Seoul in South Korea, Amsterdam, Copenhagen and Paris in Europe, London in the UK and Jakarta in Indonesia, as well as Singapore.

Singapore Airlines will continue to offer codeshare flights on 64 routes covering 31 destinations on Virgin Australia's domestic and international network, including the addition of Queenstown in New Zealand.

The move is the next step in returning the Virgin Australia's partnership to pre-pandemic operations, it says. The two carriers will continue to work closely to expand codeshare flights to more destinations across the Singapore Airlines' network in the coming weeks, subject to regulatory approval.

Virgin Australia and Singapore Airlines established their alliance partnership in 2011, with the agreement extended for a further five years in 2022.
