Singapore Airlines UK/Europe codeshares for Virgin Australia.
Virgin Australia has just announced plans to expand its codeshare on Singapore Airlines services out of Adelaide to include Europe and the United Kingdom.
The new codeshare flights are an addition to the existing SQ codeshares offered out of Adelaide to Singapore and onward to 30 destinations across Asia and into South Africa.
Under the new arrangements, which are subject to regulatory approval, Virgin Australia customers will be able to travel on Singapore Airlines flights from Adelaide via Singapore to London Heathrow, Frankfurt, Paris, Manchester, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Moscow, Munich and Zurich as well as via SQ interlines to Milan and Rome.
“South Australia is an important focus for Virgin Australia, and key to this is providing our customers in Adelaide with an extensive international network,” said Virgin Australia Group Executive of Alliances, Network and Yield, Merren McArthur.
SIA currently offers 10 weekly flights to the South Australian capital, with the frequencies allowing optimal transit times to Europe via SIngapore, according to Singapore Airlines Regional Vice President, Subhas Menon.
