The signing will upgrade the bilateral air services agreement, which was first signed in 2010 and last amended in 2015.
The MOU, signed by Mr Yee Ping Yi, Singapore’s deputy secretary of the Ministry of Transport and Mr Enrique Antonio J. Esquivel III, the Philippines’ assistant secretary for aviation and airports, on May 9, will “upgrade and further liberalise international air services between both countries”. The agreement allows both Singapore and Philippine airlines to offer up to 150 weekly cod-eshare services to shuttle passengers between Singapore and Manila, with airlines from third countries as code-share partners.
Additionally, no limit will be imposed on code-share services between Singapore and other destinations in the Philippines. The same will apply to services between Singapore and any points in the Philippines involving other airlines from Asean or the European Union.
