Singapore Airlines and JetBlue have been interline partners since 2011. The expanded partnership would offer customers seamless connections between the two airlines, combining flights on both carriers and easily facilitating one-stop ticketing and baggage check-in. Flights will become available for sale pending regulatory approval.
 
Under the proposed codeshare, Singapore Airlines customers would have access to 16 destinations in the U.S., while JetBlue customers would have access to five new cities in Europe and Asia.
