Vistara enters into code-share agreement with SIA, SilkAir

NEW DELHI : Vistara, a joint venture between Tata Sons and Singapore Airlines, on Tuesday said that it has entered into a code-share agreement with Singapore Airlines and its regional subsidiary SilkAir, which will allow the airline’s passengers to access to about 35 destinations in Asia Pacific, Australia and New Zealand, through its partner flights.

Code-sharing allows an airline to book its passengers on partner carriers and provide seamless travel to destinations where it has no presence.

Vistara will now add its ‘UK’ designated code to Singapore Airlines and SilkAir-operated flights beyond Singapore to various cities in Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and Cambodia, Vistara said in a statement adding that code sharing on flights to the United States (USA) and Japan will follow soon.
