Qantas (ASX: QAN) and Emirates have received the Competition Commission of Singapore’s (CCS) clearance of their partnership.
Chief Executive Officer of the Qantas Group Alan Joyce said the partnership had paved the way for the airline to significantly improve its services between Australia and Singapore.
Through this partnership, passengers from Singapore will now have the choice of two daily flights from both Singapore to Brisbane and Singapore to Melbourne, split evenly between Emirates and Qantas.
As part of obtaining clearance, both airlines have provided a voluntary undertaking to maintain capacity on these overlapping routes.
Qantas will operate a total of 35 services a week from Singapore to Australia, including its 14 services on these overlapping routes, as announced last month.
