Under the expansion of an existing codeshare agreement which covers Indian domestic flights, SIA will add its SQ designator code to Vistaras new international flights. In addition, Singapore Airline and SilkAir will add nine new codeshare destinations within India on Vistara-operated flights1 . With this expansion, Singapore Airline will codeshare on Vistara flights to more than 20 Indian destinations.

Similarly, Vistara will add its UK designator code to Singapore Airline- and SilkAir-operated flights between Singapore and eight destinations in India2 . As part of the arrangement, Vistara will codeshare on services to more than 40 destinations3 in the Singapore Airline and SilkAir network. These codeshares will be implemented in phases and are subject to regulatory approvals. This is the first time Vistara will be codesharing with partner airlines on international flights.

"Vistara is an important partner for Singapore Airline and SilkAir. This expansion of our codeshare agreement provides our customers with more travel options to and from India. We congratulate Vistara on the launch of its international services, and are proud to be Vistaras first codeshare partner for its international flights," said Singapore Airline Senior Vice President Marketing Planning, Mr. Tan Kai Ping. 

"Vistara found its first codeshare partners in Singapore Airlines and SilkAir, and now we are further expanding the agreement to international flights with them. Were happy to deepen this strategic partnership which means a more seamless flying experience for travellers from India to destinations across Asia, Oceania and the United States. Our customers will enjoy world-class products and services whether flying from India to points abroad beyond Singapore or into and within India from the rest of the world. It helps Vistara get closer to its vision of becoming a global brand and were certain that our customers will find the benefits of this partnership delightful," said Vistaras Chief Strategy Officer, Mr. Vinod Kannan.

Vistara is a New Delhi-based joint venture between Tata Sons and Singapore Airline. It will commence its first international operations, to Singapore from Delhi and Mumbai, starting 6 and 7 August 2019, respectively, using Boeing 737-800NG aircraft.

The codeshare flights will be progressively made available through Singapore Airline and Vistara booking channels once necessary regulatory approvals are obtained.
