SilkAir to Launch Flights to Male, Maldives

From 25 October 2015, SilkAir, the regional wing of Singapore Airlines, will begin four times weekly flights to Male.

Previously, Singapore Airlines offered a variable frequency of 10 to 14 flights a week to the capital of the Maldives. Now, together with SilkAir’s new services, both airlines will offer a total of two round-trip services per day, subject to regulatory approval.

Singapore Airlines’ Senior Vice President Marketing Planning, Ms Lee Wen Fen, said, “By synergising the networks of both carriers, we are able to provide customers more choice and greater flexibility when planning their travel itineraries. This is another example of the Singapore Airlines Group’s commitment to continuously expanding our combined network and enhancing connectivity options for our customers.”

SilkAir’s Chief Executive, Mr Leslie Thng, added, “The Maldives is a popular travel destination offering great beauty both above and below the water, with its stunning white sand beaches and equally beautiful underwater world. We are glad to be able to join Singapore Airlines to bring travellers from around the world to this picturesque island destination.”
