Singapore Airlines and Bangkok Airways codesharing partnerships.

Singapore Airlines and Bangkok Airways have entered into an exciting codesharing partnership, opening up a world of travel possibilities for passengers connecting between Singapore and Thailand, as well as various other destinations throughout Asia and Oceania.

As of September 4th, these two prominent Asian carriers have teamed up to offer travelers an enhanced and seamless experience. Bangkok Airways will now codeshare on Singapore Airlines flights between Singapore Changi (SIN) and:

1. Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (BKK) and Phuket (HKT), Thailand
2. Adelaide (ADL) and Sydney Kingsford (SYD), Australia
3. Auckland (AKL), New Zealand

Meanwhile, Singapore Airlines will extend its reach with codeshare flights on Bangkok Airways routes such as:

1. Singapore – Koh Samui (USM)
2. Phuket – Koh Samui
3. Bangkok – Chiang Mai (CNX)
4. Bangkok – Koh Samui
5. Bangkok – Phuket

But that’s not all! This partnership also encompasses regional flights to Laos and Cambodia, including Bangkok – Luang Prabang (LPQ), Bangkok – Phnom Penh (PNH), and Bangkok – Siem Reap (REP).

Now, here’s the real game-changer: passengers can now book their entire journey under a single reservation, making travel planning a breeze. Plus, you won’t have to worry about your baggage when transferring flights—it will be through-checked, ensuring a smooth transition.

Singapore Airlines passengers will now have the fantastic opportunity to explore numerous captivating regional destinations starting from Bangkok Suvarnabhumi and Phuket. It’s worth noting that while Singapore Airlines signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Thai Airways for codesharing on long-haul routes, this new partnership focuses on enhancing connectivity across the Southeast Asian and Oceanic region.

But let’s not forget about Bangkok Airways. This Thai regional carrier has an impressive portfolio of codeshare agreements with global giants like British Airways, Emirates, and Qantas. Based at Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport, it serves a network spanning approximately 20 destinations in Thailand, Cambodia, Hong Kong, Laos, Myanmar, Singapore, the Maldives, and Vietnam.

With a fleet of 24 aircraft, including 10 ATR 72s, 11 Airbus A319s, and three Airbus A320ceos, Bangkok Airways is on track for an exciting year in 2023. They anticipate carrying around 4.4 million passengers across more than 40,000 flights. This achievement is buoyed by the resurgence of tourism in Thailand, as evidenced by their impressive first-quarter profit of $24.5 million this year.

While the airline faced challenges in 2022 due to the pandemic, it is steadily recovering, reaching approximately 45% of its pre-pandemic passenger numbers. Bangkok Airways has ambitious plans to develop three of its owned airports – Samui, Sukhothai, and Trat – into bustling hubs that connect to an even wider range of regional destinations.

In summary, the codesharing partnership between Singapore Airlines and Bangkok Airways is a game-changer for travelers seeking seamless journeys, expanded options, and access to exciting destinations throughout Asia and Oceania. This collaboration represents a significant milestone in the world of aviation, promising enhanced convenience and connectivity for passengers on both sides.
