From September 2005, Singapore Airlines passengers with connections on Air Canada, Air New Zealand, ANA, Asiana Airlines, Austrian Airlines, bmi, LOT Polish
Airlines, Lufthansa, Scandinavian Airlines, Spanair and Thai Airways, will
only require an interline electronic-ticket (e-ticket) for the entire journey.
“Through the expansion of interline e-ticket arrangements with our Star Alliance partners, Singapore Airlines is able to offer our passengers the conveniences
associated with paperless travel to more destinations. Passengers need not worry about collecting tickets from their travel agents, enduring long queues at the ticketing
office and losing their tickets. Together with Singapore Airlines’ automated check-in options, travel will be hassle free,” said Singapore Airlines Executive Vice-President,
Marketing and the Regions, Mr Huang Cheng Eng.
In addition, Singapore Airlines’ KrisFlyer members and frequent flyer members of the participating partner
carriers will be able to redeem their frequent flier miles towards e-ticketed interline travel.
Singapore Airlines first launched its interline e-ticket programme in April 2005 with United Airlines. With this expansion, Singapore Airlines now partners twelve carriers
to offer this service.
Singapore Airlines has offered e-tickets to passengers since 1997. The Airline targets to issue only e-tickets by mid-2007, six months ahead of the IATA guideline of end
2007.
