Air India and Singapore Airlines have signed a commercial cooperation framework agreement in Mumbai, setting the stage for a potential joint business agreement. The pact, formalized on January 16, 2026, by Air India CEO Campbell Wilson and Singapore Airlines CEO Goh Choon Phong, aims to improve connectivity between India and Singapore.
Subject to regulatory approvals, the collaboration would allow coordinated flight schedules, expanded product offerings, and single-itinerary bookings across both carriers networks. Passengers could benefit from seamless travel experiences on routes linking the two countries and beyond.
The airlines currently codeshare on 61 points across 20 countries and territories, following an expansion in October 2024 that added 51 destinations. Air India places its code on Singapore Airlines flights to 29 points, including destinations in Australia, Japan, Vietnam, and the Philippines. In return, Singapore Airlines codeshares on Air India services to 14 cities in Europe and the Middle East, plus domestic Indian routes.
Plans include enhanced cooperation in corporate travel programs and expanded frequent flyer benefits for Maharaja Club and KrisFlyer members beyond standard Star Alliance perks. The carriers also intend to explore broader ties in select international markets to support hub traffic flow.
