Singapore Airlines and Transaero Airlines Sign Codeshare

Singapore Airlines and Russian operator Transaero Airlines have concluded a codeshare agreement which will expand the networks of both carriers. The new agreement will come into force from August 1 and will strengthen the already strong ties between Transaero and the Star Alliance global group.

Under the arrangement, Singapore Airlines will add its code to Transaero-operated flights between the Russian capital Moscow and Ekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Samara and St Petersburg, while Transaero will in turn add its code to Singapore Airlines-operated flights between Moscow and Singapore, and between Moscow and the US city of Houston.

“We are delighted to announce this agreement with Transaero. It provides new travel choices in Russia for our customers on our well established partner airline,” said Tan Chik Quee, Senior Vice President Marketing, Singapore Airlines. “We are confident the tie-up will pave the way for more leisure and business travel by offering customers of both airlines more travel options via Moscow and Singapore.”

“We are very pleased about this new cooperation agreement with Singapore Airlines, one of the leading carriers in the world with internationally acclaimed top-quality service. There is no doubt that passengers from Singapore, Russia and other countries will appreciate the opportunity to arrange their trips on these new codeshare flights,” added Olga Pleshkova, General Director, Transaero Airlines.
