SG and PH boost weekly codeshare services to 150

Currently, the countries have 35 weekly codeshare services.

Singapore and the Philippines signed a memorandum of understanding enhancing the 2010 bilateral Air Services Agreement (ASA).

The enhanced agreement will allow up to 150 weekly codeshare services to carry passengers between Singapore and Manila, with airlines from third countries as codeshare partners, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) said.

The new limit will double by end-March 2026, and will be fully lifted by end-March 2027, it noted.

Authorities said there will be no limit on codeshare services between Singapore and other points in the Philippines, as well as between the city-state and any points in Manila involving airlines from ASEAN or the European Union.

The new agreement “allows Philippine airlines that are fully owned or controlled by nationals of other countries to access the traffic rights exchanged in the ASA, as long as their principal place of business is in the Philippines,” CAAS added.

Previously, only airlines that were substantially owned and effectively controlled by Philippine nationals could do so.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
