Vietnam Airlines, SIA ink codeshare

Codeshare flights can be booked from October 10 on both airlines’ websites and other sales channels.

The codeshare pact will see SIA add its code on Vietnam Airlines-operated flights between Singapore and Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

Vietnam Airlines will also codeshare on SIA-operated flights between Singapore and Da Nang, Hanoi, and Ho Chi Minh City.

“By leveraging our respective networks, we can offer customers more choice, greater flexibility, and seamless transfers across our services between the two countries,” said Dai Haoyu, VP of Marketing and Planning at Singapore Airlines.

Nguyen Quang Trung, VN’s Director of Corporate Planning and Development says the codeshare cooperation will help to boost economic growth and tourism in both directions.

Almost two million passengers travelled between Vietnam and Singapore last year.

Vietnam Airlines currently operates 25 flights a week to Singapore from its Hanoi and HCMC hubs.
