MAB and SIA partner to reshape Malaysia-Singapore air travel

Their joint initiatives include revenue sharing and coordinated flight schedules.

Malaysia Airlines Berhad (MAB) and Singapore Airlines (SIA) have formalised their strategic joint business partnership, following approval from the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia in January 2026 and the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore in July 2025.

The partnership is set to enhance connectivity and offer greater flexibility for customers travelling between Malaysia and Singapore, according to a joint press release.

Potential initiatives include revenue-sharing flights, joint fare products, coordinated flight schedules, and integrated corporate travel arrangements.

Datuk Captain Izham bin Ismail, Group Managing Director of Malaysia Aviation Group, said the move represents a key step in advancing the Group’s Long-Term Business Plan 3.0, positioning MAB for its next phase of growth.

“This also reinforces the long-standing and deep people-to-people and trade links between Singapore and Malaysia, supporting economic growth and connectivity that will benefit both nations,” added Goh Choon Phong, Chief Executive Officer of Singapore Airlines.

MAB and SIA have progressively expanded their codeshare arrangements since signing their initial agreement in October 2019.

The collaboration also includes reciprocal frequent flyer participation, allowing members to earn Enrich points and KrisFlyer miles on selected flights since February 2024.

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.
