While the New air corridor for vaccinated travellers (VTL) begins between Singapore and Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur only) on 29 November<\/strong>companies Malaysia Airlines<\/a> <\/strong>and Singapore Airlines<\/a> (SIA)<\/strong> have announced the reactivation of their code-sharing agreements between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.<\/p>\n

The agreement also covers 15 domestic points in Malaysia, 7 destinations in Europe and 2 cities in South Africa. In Europe, the agreement includes SIA flights from Barcelona, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Moscow, Munich, Rome and Zurich.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The introduction of the VTL (Vaccinated Travel Lane) corridor between Malaysia and Singapore means smoother journeys for customers<\/strong> by simplifying the conditions for entering both countries. It should boost traffic between the two countries. Since the corridor was announced, some flights have already reached a load factor of 100%!<\/p>\n

17 flights between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur under VTL status<\/span><\/h3>\n

From 29 November, Singapore Airlines to operate 10 VTL return flights per week between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur using Airbus A350-900 aircraft<\/strong>. On his side, Malaysia Airlines to offer daily VTL flights from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore and back<\/strong>. The flight of just 60 minutes will be operated on board an Airbus A330-300. The Malaysian carrier will add a second daily VTL flight from 1 January 2022.<\/p>\n

What's more, Singapore Airlines offers 11 weekly flights between the two cities but without VTL status<\/strong>. They are ideal for transit passengers, for example. Malaysia Airlines also offers five other daily flights outside VTL status<\/strong>. The carrier plans to offer 8 additional weekly flights on 1 February and one additional daily flight on 1 March.<\/p>\n

The expansion of codeshare agreements is the first phase of a far-reaching commercial agreement that Malaysia Airlines and Singapore Airlines signed in 2019. And which has hardly been able to develop due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Within this agreement, the two airlines plan to coordinate flight schedules, offer joint fare products and align the KrisFlyer and Enrich frequent flyer programmes<\/strong>. The two carriers will also explore joint tourism marketing initiatives and multi-stop itineraries. These will enable passengers to travel to more destinations in Malaysia via Kuala Lumpur and Singapore. Malaysia to reopen to international visitors by 1 January at the latest<\/strong> will enable this last part of the agreement to be applied.<\/p>\n\n\n
