SIA and Air India Now Sell Each Other’s Flights

Since 15 October, either airline can sell the other's India–Singapore flights on their own, opening 126 weekly flights from eight Indian cities to both.

Booking India–Singapore travel just got simpler. Since Thursday 15 October, Singapore Airlines (SIA) and Air India can each sell the other’s eligible flights between the two countries as standalone bookings.

Until now, an Air India codeshare booked through SIA had to include an SIA-operated flight, and the other way round. That rule is gone. Customers can book through either airline’s website, app or appointed travel agencies.

What’s covered

  • 126 weekly flights between Singapore and eight Indian cities: Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kochi, Kolkata and Mumbai.
  • Miles: since April 2026, members earn on more booking classes, at revised rates, across a wider range of flights on either airline.
  • From the second quarter of 2027: KrisFlyer PPS Club and Maharaja Club Platinum members get priority check-in and boarding; KrisFlyer Elite Silver and Maharaja Club Silver members get extra baggage and priority boarding on eligible routes. This is on top of Star Alliance benefits.

The airlines say this is the first phase of a cooperation agreement signed in January 2026, with work on schedule connections and corporate offers to follow.

His first trip was to the family cottage in Prince Edward Island, all rolling hills, red sand cliffs and jellyfish drifting in the North Atlantic. He'll sit anywhere but the middle seat (no armrest wars), never flies without the adapter that lets his AirPods play the in-flight movie, and has eaten at a McDonald's in every country he's visited. Iceland gets a pass because it doesn't have one. He once learned to bead earrings from Aleqa Hammond, Greenland's first female premier, on a ship in the Northwest Passage, and will tell anyone who'll listen that Cincinnati is wildly underrated. Friends say charming, driven and loyal. His mum says persuasive. Next stop: Greece.
