Singapore Airlines will be making network
adjustments during the Northern Winter operating season (28
October 2012 - 30 March 2013), comprising capacity increases on
several routes, reductions on others and seasonal aircraft
changes.
The adjustments, subject to regulatory
approvals, are in line with efforts to redeploy capacity to
markets where demand is stronger.
In Australia, a fourth daily service will be
operated to Perth, up from three flights per day. Capacity will
also increase to Melbourne with the
Airbus A380 superjumbo used
for two of the three daily flights, up from one. This will take
effect from 16 August and continue through the Northern Winter
season.
In India, Mumbai services will increase to 21
per week from 19 from the start of the Northern Winter season.
As previously announced, frequency to London
Heathrow will increase to four flights per day from three.
A daily Hong Kong flight which continues to San
Francisco will be served with the A380 instead of the Boeing
777-300ER on a seasonal basis between 28 December 2012 and 24
March 2013. This will increase to two the number of Hong Kong
flights served each day with the A380, while it will be the first
time SIA will be operating the A380 to San Francisco.
Tokyo Narita will be served with two A380s each
day instead of one. This will also be on a seasonal basis between
28 December and 24 March in place of B777-300ER services. The
existing A380 service will continue to operate to Tokyo Narita and
beyond to Los Angeles.
New Singapore-Riyadh-Jeddah flights will be
operated three times per week, in place of existing services to
Riyadh via Dubai and to Jeddah via Abu Dhabi. As previously
announced, Abu Dhabi services will be suspended from late October,
as will Athens services.
Frequency to both Milan in Italy and Barcelona
in Spain will be reduced to five times per week from seven.
Singapore- Istanbul services will be reduced to four flights per
week from five.
Singapore-Frankfurt-New York A380 services will
be switched to B777-300ER services on a seasonal basis between 27
December and 24 March.
