SilkAir to serve Visakhapatnam

SILKAIR will become the first airline to provide a direct international air link to Visakhapatnam when it begins non-stop thrice-weekly services from Singapore starting October 28.
Flights will operate to the port city in the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, with next-day return flights to Singapore. The services will be operated with Airbus A319 and A320 aircraft, featuring both business and economy class cabins.

SilkAir’s chief executive, Leslie Thng, said: “(The route launch) represents a significant milestone as SilkAir is the first carrier to offer international flights to and from Visakhapatnam. We are…confident that this direct service will further strengthen the strong economic ties between Singapore and India.”

He added: “This new route will also give business travellers access to one of the fastest growing commercial cities in India, while introducing a great sightseeing destination for leisure-oriented tourists.”

Visakhapatnam will be SilkAir’s eighth destination in India and will boost the carrier’s route network to 42 destinations in 12 countries.
