Air India and Singapore Airlines have signed a commercial cooperation framework agreement to deepen their long-standing partnership. The agreement was signed in Mumbai on January 16, 2026, by Air India CEO Campbell Wilson and Singapore Airlines CEO Goh Choon Phong. The move is expected to enhance connectivity between India and Singapore and offer more travel options to passengers.
Under the new framework, both airlines will work closely on aligning flight schedules, expanding codeshare services, and enabling seamless bookings across both carriers for a single journey. The agreement also opens the door for deeper integration of corporate travel programs and improved benefits for frequent flyer members of Air India’s Maharaja Club and Singapore Airlines’ KrisFlyer program.
At present, Air India and Singapore Airlines codeshare on 61 points across 20 countries. This followed a major expansion in 2024, when 51 international and domestic destinations were added to the partnership network. The new agreement sets the stage for further collaboration, including exploring opportunities beyond India and Singapore to address rising global travel demand.
Wilson reaffirmed Air India’s focus on growing its global presence through strategic partnerships. He said, “This agreement establishes a structured platform for both airlines to explore future areas of collaboration and create long-term value for our customers and stakeholders.”
Phong described the agreement as a “natural evolution” of the strong partnership between the two airlines. He said it would further strengthen connectivity between Singapore and India while supporting the growth of air travel.
The commercial cooperation framework is subject to regulatory approvals and the signing of final joint business agreements. More details on route expansions and enhanced passenger services will be shared as plans progress. The partnership marks an important step toward improving air travel connectivity between India and Singapore and making journeys more convenient for passengers in both markets.
