CCCS grants conditional approval for SIA-ANA collab

They noted that SIA and ANA hold substantial market shares for direct Singapore-Tokyo flights.

The Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS) has granted conditional approval of the proposed commercial cooperation between Singapore Airlines Limited (SIA) and All Nippon Airways Co., Ltd. (ANA) after accepting commitments from both parties.

On 24 July 2023, CCCS received a joint application from SIA and ANA seeking a decision on whether the proposed cooperation in the provision of scheduled air passenger transport services between Singapore and Japan would infringe Section 34 of the Competition Act 2004.

In assessing the proposal, CCCS stated that SIA and ANA hold “substantial market shares” for direct flights between Singapore and Tokyo and have “sustained a high combined market share in recent years.”

Additionally, third-party feedback indicates that SIA and ANA are the main competitors on the Singapore-Tokyo and vice versa route.

Although an existing competitor has expanded in recent years, CCCS assessed that the impact on competition arising from the expansion is not conclusive.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
