  "account": "Starting October 15, Singapore Airlines (SIA) and Air India will offer more flight options between Singapore and eight Indian cities - Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, New Delhi, Hyderabad, Kochi, Kolkata, and Mumbai. This is part of their new strategic partnership, announced on October 7. Previously, an eligible flight operated by Air India on SIA's website or app required an SIA-operated flight, and vice versa. The new arrangement allows customers to book eligible flights operated by either airline on a standalone basis through their respective booking channels. The airlines have already codeshared on 77 destinations across 27 countries and territories. They also inked a commercial cooperation framework agreement in January, with SIA acquiring a 25.1% stake in Air India in November 2024. In addition to the expanded flight options, the airlines announced enhanced reciprocal benefits for Maharaja Club and KrisFlyer members, effective in the second quarter of 2027. These benefits include priority check-in and boarding, additional baggage allowances, and priority boarding for top-tier members. Both airlines aim to serve the growing demand for travel between their countries and provide a more seamless experience for customers.",
