US Carrier Expands International Reach Through New Connection Deal
Southwest Airlines and Singapore Airlines have launched a partnership allowing passengers to book single-ticket trips connecting Singapore Airlines’ long-haul network with Southwest’s US flights. The agreement provides Singapore Airlines passengers with access to nearly 120 Southwest destinations through Los Angeles, Seattle, and San Francisco airports. The partnership marks another step in Southwest’s shift away from its traditional stand-alone model, expanding its international reach without adding long-haul aircraft. The announcement was made during the International Air Transport Association Annual General Meeting in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and reported by AeroTime.
