ANA and Singapore Airlines receive conditional antitrust exemptions for new JV routes

Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLITT) granted a conditional antitrust exemption for a joint venture between All Nippon Airways and Singapore Airlines covering routes between Japan and Singapore as well as Japan links to Australia, India, Indonesia and Malaysia.

Singapore’s Competition and Consumer Commission (CCCS) later approved the cooperation conditionally, noting concerns about reduced competition on the Singapore‑Tokyo route and requiring capacity limits, reporting obligations and independent audits.
