All Nippon (NH) and Singapore Airlines (SQ) in talks to form a JV for the SE Asia and Pacific regions (inc Aust).

Personal Opinion: Slightly related, the SQ JV with VA is due to expire at the end of October 2021.
I wonder if the proposed SQ/NH JV will end up to be a 3-way SQ/NH/VA JV?

TOKYO -- All Nippon Airways enters a comprehensive tie-up with Singapore Airlines as early as this month, joining forces to fend off competition in an increasingly crowded Southeast Asian market.
This type of partnership, known as a joint venture in the aviation industry, will go beyond the carriers' current code-sharing agreement to let them coordinate schedules and fares. The arrangement is slated to launch around 2021 once the airlines receive the necessary antitrust exemptions.

SQ/NH/VA would be an excellent triumvirate.
