Singapore Airlines inks deal with Saudi Arabia’s new carrier

This includes codeshare arrangements, frequent flyer programme and cargo services.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) has established a strategic partnership with Saudi Arabia’s new carrier, Riyadh Air for enhanced connectivity and to offer better benefits to flyers.

The two airlines on 2 June signed a memorandum of understanding on the sidelines of the 80th International Air Transport Association (IATA) Annual General Meeting and World Air Transport Summit in Dubai.

Under the agreement, the two carriers will explore opportunities for interline connectivity on each other’s services and work on other commercial cooperations.

This includes codeshare arrangements, reciprocal benefits for their frequent flyer programme members, cargo services, customer experience as well as digital innovation for a deeper and long-term partnership.

The partnership could expand the access of Riyadh Air’s guests in SIA’s network in South East Asia and the South West Pacific region, and provide SIA’s customers greater access to the Middle East region through Riyadh Air’s network.

Riyadh Air is a new airline based in Saudi Arabia and is targeted to begin commercial operations in 2025.

This follows other partnerships that SIA had recently formed with other international carriers including Garuda Indonesia.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up 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. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
