strategy," said JoAnn Tan, Senior

expansion of the codeshare arrangement will provide both SIA and
United customers with a greater array of choices and connections,
as well as seamless transfers for their business or leisure travel.
This will also help to strengthen the deep and long-standing ties
between Singapore and the US."
This announcement comes amid growing demand for international
air travel as more countries around the world ease border
restrictions. As travel resumes, customers can look forward to
enjoying Singapore Airlines' and United Airlines' new codeshare
flights, award-winning service, and the ability to redeem and earn
points and miles while flying on both carriers.
Subject to regulatory approvals, the codeshare flights will be
