SIA ramps up Indonesian connections

SINGAPORE Airlines (SIA) is adding a new Surabaya service to its network and will increase the frequencies of outbound flights to Bali and Jakarta.

From July 26, SIA will take over one of subsidiary SilkAir’s two daily Surabaya flights, deploying 285-seat Airbus A330-300 aircraft to increase SIA-SilkAir capacity on the route by almost 50 per cent.

Surabaya-bound flights depart Singapore at 07.50 and arrive at 09.10, while return flights leave at 10.30 to reach Singapore at 13.35.

On the same day, the carrier will add its ninth daily service to Jakarta. Flights leave Singapore at 16.25 and touch down at 17.10, taking off at 18.10 and arriving at 20.45 on the return leg.

SIA will also kick off a fourth daily service to Denpasar, with the aircraft scheduled to depart Singapore at 07.00 and land at 09.35 every day. Singapore-bound flights leave Denpasar at 21.45 and arrive the next day at 00.15.

The airline is the latest to beef up Singapore-Indonesia links, with SilkAir (TTG Asia e-Daily, May 3, 2013) and Tiger Airways (TTG Asia e-Daily, May 7, 2013) having made recent announcements.
