(SIA) has inked a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for a new partnership with Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh Air, a new airline due to be commercially operational in 2025. Under the MOU, both carriers will explore opportunities for interline connectivity on each other’s services while also working on potential areas of commercial cooperation, such as codeshare arrangements. Other areas in which SIA and Riyadh Air may cooperate include reciprocal benefits for frequent flyer programme members, cargo services, customer experience, and digital innovation as a “precursor to a deeper, long-term strategic partnership”. In a joint statement on Tuesday (Jun 4), both carriers said the MOU will potentially offer Riyadh Air’s guests access to SIA’s network in South-east Asia and the South-west Pacific region.     https://www.businesstimes.com.sg/companies-markets/sia-establish-commercial-partnership-riyadh-air   (ICE SINGAPORE)
