CCCS says that it reviewed information provided by the applicants and third party feedback and identified some competition concerns. This includes the fact that SIA and ANA possess substantial market shares offering direct flights on the Singapore-Tokyo routes and have sustained a high combined market share in recent years.
Singapore Airlines (SIA) and All Nippon Airways (ANA) have received conditional approval to provide scheduled air passenger transport services between Singapore and Japan, from the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS).
The two airlines first submitted a joint application to the CCCS on Jul 24, 2023 to clarify if the proposed cooperation would infringe on section 34 of the Competition Act 2004.
