Cruiseing and airline industries intertwined

‘The cruising and airline industries are intertwined and this newly formed partnership allows us to enhance and further strengthen the close working relationship we have had with the cruising industry for many years,’ Philip Goh, regional VP South West Pacific for Singapore Airlines, said.

‘With more than 160 flights a week from nine cities across Australia and New Zealand, SIA is pleased to have worked alongside the cruise industry to ensure our mutual customers not only reach their cruise, but get there in comfort thanks to our famous Singapore Airlines service,’ Goh said.
