KUALA LUMPUR : National carrier Malaysia Airlines said on
Thursday it would sign a codesharing arrangement with Singapore
Airlines (SIA) and its subsidiary SilkAir.
"Malaysia Airlines, Singapore Airlines and its subsidiary SilkAir
will sign a tripartite codeshare agreement tomorrow (Friday) in a
move towards greater cooperation between the national airlines of
the countries," the Malaysian carrier said in a statement.
An industry official said the codesharing deal would include
shuttle flights between Malaysia and Singapore and some other
routes.
Combined services on routes would allow the carriers to save money
on low-profit destinations amid high fuel prices. - AFP
