SIA, Lufthansa JV partnership to kick off from Oct 1

SIA and Lufthansa Group will launch a previously announced joint venture on Oct 1, which will cover flights between Singapore, Australia and Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Belgium. Passengers will have access to a wider range of travel itineraries and fares that will be progressively offered by the airlines under the JV agreement. Since November 2015, when the agreement was first inked, the two carriers have expanded capacity between Singapore and both Germany and Switzerland. This includes the introduction of new SIA-operated flights between Singapore and Dusseldorf in July 2016. Lufthansa has also announced plans to re-introduce services between Singapore and Munich from March next year.<br/>
