As a response to stronger demands for air travel, Singapore Airlines (SIA) has announced its plan to increase flight frequency to destinations across Japan, as well as several other international destinations.
The airline also announced that it will soon restore its Indian network to pre-pandemic levels in the coming months, increasing flight frequencies to Los Angeles and Paris, and continuing its direct services to Vancouver.
“Japan is a key market for the SIA Group, and we will work closely with our partners to meet the demand for air travel as entry requirements gradually ease. Robust demand for travel to and from India, to points across the Group network, support an increase in our services in this important market,” said JoAnn Tan, Senior Vice President Marketing Planning, Singapore Airlines. “By stepping up services into the Northern Winter season, we give our customers even more flight options as they make their travel plans over the next few months. The SIA Group will closely monitor the demand for air travel and adjust its services accordingly.”
Together with other adjustments to the SIA and Scoot network, the SIA Group capacity is projected to be at around 81% of pre-pandemic levels by December 2022.
Starting on 24 July 2022, Singapore Airlines flights SQ634 and SQ638 to Tokyo’s Haneda and Narita airport, respectively, will become daily services. Together with the daily SQ12 service from Singapore to Los Angeles via Tokyo (Narita), SIA will operate three daily services into Japan’s capital, up from 14 flights per week.
From 30 October 2022, the airline will also reinstate daily SQ636 services to Haneda airport to bring Tokyo service up to 28 flights per week, SQ618 twice-daily flights to Osaka, as well as SQ656 three flights per week service to Fukuoka. With the thrice-weekly service to Nagoya, SIA will operate 62% of its pre-COVID19 operating capacity to Japan by that date.
The Airline will progressively operate 17 weekly services to Chennai, up from the current 10 flights per week. Kochi services will go up to 14 times weekly, up from the current seven flights per week. Bengaluru services will go up to 16 times weekly, up from the current seven flights per week. Singapore Airlines will operate almost 100% of its pre-Covid operating capacity to India by 30 October 2022
From 30 November 2022, SQ36 will operate as a daily non-stop flight to Los Angeles. This is in addition to the current daily SQ38 service. The Airline will operate 21 weekly services to Los Angeles, including the daily one-stop service through Tokyo (Narita), up from the current 17 flights per week.
From 1 December 2022, SQ332 will operate five times weekly from Singapore to Paris, up from its current three times weekly service, and complementing the current daily SQ336 service to the city. Paris will be served with 12 weekly flights, up from seven flights per week.
To cater to the growing travel demand, SIA will continue its thrice-weekly SQ48 direct service to Vancouver in the Northern Winter operating season.
