Garuda Indonesia and Singapore Airlines (SIA) have received approval from Singapore's Competition and Consumer Commission for their commercial joint venture agreement. 


With this approval, the airlines will be able to cooperate on a wider range of commercial activities.

These potentially include operating joint revenue-sharing flights between the two countries, coordinating flight schedules to offer travellers more options and seamless connectivity between Singapore and Indonesia and beyond, and exploring joint sales and marketing initiatives that provide greater value to both airlines' customers. 

Since Garuda Indonesia and Singapore Airlines signed an agreement to deepen their partnership in May 2023, the carriers have been working on initiatives including giving GarudaMiles and KrisFlyer frequent flier members the option to earn and redeem miles on code-share routes. They have also embarked on joint marketing initiatives to promote tourism activities.

The airlines now code share on a wide range of flights, including between Singapore and the Indonesian cities of Bali, Jakarta, Medan and Surabaya, as well as on long-haul routes between Singapore and Johannesburg, London (Heathrow) and Mumbai.
