Flag carrier Philippine Airlines and Singapore Airlines, or SIA, have signed a new codeshare partnership agreement.
The codeshare agreement will start on SIA's and PAL's flights between Singapore and Manila by the fourth quarter, subject to regulatory approvals.
SIA will also codeshare on PAL's flights from Manila to 27 destinations within the Philippines, while PAL will codeshare on SIA's flights to six destinations in Europe which are Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Milan, Paris, Rome, and Zurich.
The European codeshare sectors will be rolled out progressively across PAL and SIA sales channels, including philippineairlines.com and singaporeair.com, as well as travel agents over the coming weeks.

The codeshare services to Copenhagen and Milan will represent a historical milestone — the first-ever air links to the Danish capital and the Italian commercial hub by a Philippine carrier. PAL is making a comeback, albeit through codeshare services, to Frankfurt, Paris, Rome, and Zurich, which were previously served by the Philippine flag carrier in the 1980s and 1990s.
Both airlines will also explore an expansion of the codeshare agreement to include SIA's flights to additional points in Europe, as well as destinations in Australia, India, New Zealand, and South Africa.
"We are happy to offer our Philippine Airlines passengers a wider range of flights between Manila and Singapore through this codeshare partnership, affirming our promise to keep building new connections and opportunities for our customers," Captain Stanley Ng, PAL president and COO, said.
"The partnership is the product of a strengthened relationship with our fellow ASEAN mainline carrier, Singapore Airlines, and an enduring commitment to expanding our presence in Singapore, a top PAL destination that we have been serving for 58 years and counting," he added.
Goh Choon Phong, chief executive officer, Singapore Airlines, said, "This agreement enables Philippine Airlines and Singapore Airlines to work more closely together, and find ways to offer our customers enhanced travel connections between Singapore and the Philippines."
