SINGAPORE Airlines (SIA) will introduce a fourth daily flight between Singapore and London (Heathrow) from October.
The carrier currently operates three flights per day between Singapore and London (Heathrow), all using Airbus A380 aircraft. The additional flight, which will have a late-night departure from Singapore, will be operated using a Boeing 777-300ER.
The frequency hike will be carried out progressively, starting September 9, when the number of flights per week will rise from 21 to 25. The full complement of 28 flights per week will take effect from October 21.
“We have been looking for opportunities to increase our London flights for many years,” said SIA executive vice president commercial, Mak Swee Wah.
“Not only are London and Singapore popular destinations in their own right, the additional flights will allow for more convenient connections beyond London to other points in Europe, and beyond Singapore to other points within Asia and South West Pacific.”
