United Airlines and
Singapore Airlines have signed an expanded
codeshare agreement, designed to make it easier for customers of
the two Star Alliance members to travel to
more cities in the United States of America, South East Asia and
other destinations in the Asia-Pacific region.
Beginning today, 26 April 2022, United’s customers
can connect to nine new codeshare destinations in the SIA
Group network. Of those, seven points are in South East Asia: Brunei’s capital Bandar Seri Begawan, Siem Reap in
Cambodia, Kuala Lumpur and Penang in Malaysia, and Denpasar
(Bali), Jakarta and Surabaya in Indonesia. They can also connect
to Perth in Australia, as well as Male in Maldives with Singapore
Airlines.

“United continues to provide critical links to
Asia and we are the only US airline flying direct to Singapore
from the US, with our nonstop San Francisco – Singapore flight,”
said Patrick Quayle, Senior Vice President of International
Network and Alliances at United. “We are excited to further expand
our partnership with Singapore Airlines and provide our customers
greater convenience and access to world-class destinations in the
region.”
Singapore Airlines’ customers can connect on United’s flights out
of Los Angeles to 10 new codeshare destinations in America: Austin, Baltimore, Boise, Cleveland, Denver, Honolulu, Las
Vegas, Phoenix, Reno and Sacramento. This complements the
existing connections available on United’s network from Houston to
Atlanta, Austin, Dallas/Ft. Worth, Ft. Lauderdale, Miami, New
Orleans, Orlando and Tampa.
JoAnn Tan, Senior Vice President Marketing
Planning, Singapore Airlines, said, “SIA’s partnership with United
is an integral part of our growth strategy. The expansion of the
codeshare arrangement will provide both SIA and United customers
with a greater array of choices and connections, as well as
seamless transfers for their business or leisure travel. This will
also help to strengthen the deep and long-standing ties between
Singapore and the US.”
Subject to regulatory approvals, the codeshare
flights will be progressively made available for sale through the
airlines’ respective booking channels.
