SINGAPORE – Singapore Airlines will significantly increase the frequency of its flights to some key markets from March to October 2024, restoring more of its services – including those to Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Melbourne – to pre-pandemic levels.
Meanwhile, the larger Airbus A380 will replace the smaller A350-900 long-haul jet on one of SIA’s daily services to Frankfurt, Germany, marking the return of the airline’s superjumbo to continental Europe. Other SIA services that will have frequencies reaching or surpassing pre-pandemic levels include flights to and from Tokyo’s Haneda Airport, which will go up to four flights daily from Sept 1, 2024. Flights to and from Da Nang in Vietnam will be raised to 14 times weekly from July 1, 2024.
A third daily service will be added between Singapore and Beijing from May 2024, taking the frequency of SIA’s flights to the Chinese capital to pre-pandemic levels. Between April and June 2023, SIA and its budget arm Scoot carried 8.4 million passengers, 65.5 per cent higher than a year before.
