SQ, AI expand partnership
Air India and Singapore Airlines have launched the first phase of their commercial partnership, allowing customers to book eligible flights between India and Singapore through either airline’s booking channels.
From October 15, the two airlines will offer customers a wider range of flight options covering flights between Singapore and Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kochi, Kolkata and Mumbai in India.
Currently, bookings through the other airline have to include a flight operated by both carriers. This requirement will be removed from October 15.
Etihad ups Damascus flights
Etihad Airways will increase its Abu Dhabi-Damascus service from four to seven weekly flights from November 14.
“The response to our Damascus service has impressed us from the very first flight, and a daily service is the natural next step,” said Arik De, Etihad Airways Chief Revenue and Commercial Officer. “It brings the Syrian capital within easy reach of our guests in the UAE, and places Damascus just one stop from the many destinations we serve beyond Abu Dhabi.”
