Singapore Airlines has committed to supporting the NTIA under a multi-year partnership, returning as major sponsor.

The NTIAs will be a celebration of the recovery and thriving success of the Australian travel sector and what our businesses and people now represent.
“AFTA is thrilled to be hosting NTIA again this year and welcoming Singapore Airlines returning as our major sponsor,” AFTA CEO Dean Long said.
“The Awards are an excellent opportunity to come together to celebrate and acknowledge the innovation, determination and resilience of our people and our sector.
