Looks like the aviation industry is set to have a change but in a good way.
Malaysia Airlines (MAS) and Singapore Airlines (SIA) have both been granted conditional approval for a partnership which aims to grow traffic between Malaysia, Singapore and other markers said the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS).

&nbsp;
The two airlines had initially signed the agreement back in October 2019 as they were set to work together in areas such as joint sales and marketing including revenue sharing.
Join venture = More destinations
Both MAS and SIA aim to grow traffic between the two countries as well as new market opportunities in Europe. With that being done, the airlines can sell seats on each other&rsquo;s flights to provide passengers with a wider variety of destinations around the world.

&nbsp;
The partnerships conditional approval given by the CCCS was accepted after the two airlines accepted a set of proposed commitments. It had also conducted public consultation during its assessment.
The CCCS says that the arrangement of both airlines will need to be further reviewed with a series of indicator signals sustained recovery and normality of aviation activity on overlapping direct routes such as flights between Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Kuching.

&nbsp;
Due to the pandemic which saw the borders being closed for almost 2 years, competition on the overlapping direct routes is limited even without arrangements between both airlines.
The concerned raised by third parties had also been taken into note and consideration and the airlines would assess it as well as it&rsquo;s competition impact and benefits of the arrangement when the aviation sector recovers from the pandemic.
Fun fact:

&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The two airlines used to be known as Malaysian Airways or Malaysia Singapore Airways before the two split into their own independent and sovereign state in 1965.
Does this partnership apply to the two smaller airlines under the two?

&nbsp;
As some know, SIA&rsquo;s subsidiary Scoot also offers routes to many countries at a low price similarly to Malaysia Airlines&rsquo; sister airline, Firefly.
So far there&rsquo;s no say on job opportunities but as the aviation industry recovers, I&rsquo;m sure many would hope for it to happen.
As most countries transition to the endemic phase of things, there&rsquo;s high hopes for the aviation industry restart again as airlines hope to see more weekly flights to many destinations again.
