Singapore Airlines And Air Mauritius Sign Codeshare Agreement

Editors note: A few entries ago, we examined codesharing in the airline industry , as well as its benefits to both airlines and passengers. Well, the National carrier of the Island nation of Mauritius has inked a codeshare agreement with the flag carrier of the city state of Singapore. This deal will facilitate cooperation between both airlines on flights to Mauritius, a popular and growing tourist destination as well as enable Air Mauritius access to Star Alliance member Singapore Airlines' robust network at its Changi international airport hub (SIN). Changi airport has won the award for best airport of the year several times in a row. Air Mauritius passengers now have easy access to this world class airport along with its top notch facilities.

This is definitely an exciting deal which will undoubtedly attract major benefits to both airlines -
