The new cap will be doubled by March 2026 and be completely removed a year later. The agreement permits unlimited code-sharing between Singapore and destinations other than Manila in the Philippines and between Singapore and any points in the Philippines involving airlines from ASEAN or the European Union. “It is important to provide a favourable regulatory environment so our carriers can capitalise on new business opportunities,” Singapore Ministry of Transport deputy secretary, Yee Ping Yi, said. “This MoU will facilitate improved air connectivity between and beyond both countries and is a win-win outcome for both nations.”
