Shanghai services have increased from four to five times daily. Some increases are planned for destinations in India, subject to traffic rights and regulatory approval.

Frequency will be increased between Singapore and Dubai to twice daily, from the existing 10 flights per week, with effect from 18 May.

The airline had recently commenced a second daily service between Singapore and Zurich, and earlier this year, increased frequency on the Milan and Barcelona route to a daily service.

The current 5 times weekly service between Bangkok and Osaka will be suspended from 17 May 2008. It will be replaced with an additional daily Singapore-Bangkok service, which will bring to 41 the number of weekly flights between Singapore and Bangkok.

The current 4 times weekly service between Taipei and Los Angeles will be suspended from 1 October 2008. Three new weekly flights between Singapore and Taipei will maintain capacity on the Singapore-Taipei route.

The airline is expected to notify those customers affected by the adjustments and in order to offer them alternative solutions.
