Like others have said, I do not see the benefits of AF over LH from SQ perspective.
The only benefit (that's minimal in the big scheme of alliances) could be for R pax on SQ to access AF La Premiere lounge in CDG, which make TPR look like a hawker center in comparison.

Indeed. From Changi to CDG, what fun that will be....
I can see why AF would be keen but I can't see what SQ would gain from this, save for lots of grief when pax go from SQ to AF.

Agree that transfer at CDG can be a challenge but current SQ LH group partnership has an ok French network mainly at key French cities.
A partnership with AF would mean a more extensive French network and if deal is extended to include KLM then the non SQ stations would become more pan European.
Next group: IAG. Just wishful thinking.

They'd be as well to obtain a codeshare with Flybe from MAN (something they should do when the route goes non-stop) which connects to a large number of UK and non-UK cities that are unserved by SQ.

I'd say they're a bit lonely after QF ran off and joined EK and they lost out on the Kangaroo Route. LH might also have something to say given they are already providing connections to various French cities.
Really hoping to see developments on code sharing that bring truly practical options to connect to non-SQ stations in Europe.

Well that definitely makes life easier for connecting flights to other parts of France

SQ and AF forming a partnership?
An article in La Tribune reports that SQ is in discussion with AF on working together.
http://www.latribune.fr/entreprises-...es-567143.html
Key points:- Minimum collaboration would be involve codesharing on flights between SIN and CDG
- Partnership aimed at countering threat of ME airlines
- Challenge of getting approval from Star Alliance as it is the most strict alliance when it comes to its members partnering with airlines of other alliances
- Having an Asian partner has been a priority for AF-KLM for many years
- Outgoing AF CEO de Juniac said to be a great admirer of SQ and gets along well with Goh Choon Phong
- Shortly after announcing his departure, de Juniac declared that AF hopes to conclude a partnership with an Asian airline (without divulging the identity) by summer
