Singapore Airlines
today launched its inaugural flight to Houston. SQ 62 departed Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 2 at 0945hrs and is
expected to arrive at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport at 2220hrs (all times local).
The return leg of the trip – SQ 61 – will take place on the same day with the aircraft departing Houston at 2355hrs and arriving in Singapore on March 22 at
1130hrs.
The Boeing 777-300ER, fitted with the Singapore Airlines’ new luxurious cabin products in all three classes, will operate the new route. The
new cabin products include the ultra-wide Business Class seat, configured in a 4-abreast, 1-2-1 configuration with every seat having direct
access to the aisle. Seats in all three classes feature the new KrisWorld, with over 1,000 entertainment options, with full audio and video on
demand, and a suite of office applications.
A variety of dining choices await customers departing from Houston, including American fare with a Texan influence such as biscuits and
gravy, barbeque beef briskets, and broiled steak with fried eggs under the
airline’s Popular Local Fare
Programme.
Houston is the fourth passenger city served by Singapore Airlines in the United States, after San Francisco, Los Angeles, and New York.
The four-times weekly service, via Moscow, provides the only direct air link between the Russian capital and Texas in Southwest USA.
Singapore Airlines Executive Vice-President Marketing and the Regions, Huang Cheng Eng,
said, “Houston is the fourth largest city in the United
States, and a key energy center. Its strategic location on the Gulf Coast, makes it an ideal gateway for the Southern USA to Singapore and
Southeast Asia. We believe this new route will prove popular to both business and leisure travelers alike.”
