Campbell Wilson, CEO and MD of Air India, said: “Air India is committed to growing its global footprint, both by adding new aircraft to our own fleet and by forging stronger commercial partnerships, particularly with our fellow Star Alliance member carriers. We are pleased to take our valued, lasting relationship with Singapore Airlines to the next level through this new commercial cooperation understanding, which starts a clear and structured platform for both airlines to discover and define future areas of closer collaboration. With this measured approach, we will lay a strong foundation for sustainable, longstanding value creation for our customers and other stakeholders.”
Goh Choon Phong, CEO, Singapore Airlines, said: “This agreement is a natural evolution of our successful partnership, creating genuine value and offering improved benefits to customers. It is a strategic, win-win collaboration that will fortify connectivity between Singapore and India, support the advance of air travel and tourism in both nations, and deepen their established business and people-to-people ties.”
