Singapore Airlines (SIA) will increase frequencies across its network during the Northern Summer 2024 operating season (from March 31, 2024 to October 26, 2024), supporting the strong demand for air travel to its key markets.
JoAnn Tan, Senior Vice President Marketing Planning, Singapore Airlines, said: “With the release of SIA’s Northern Summer schedules, our customers can plan ahead and start to make their travel plans for 2024. Our customers will be able to enjoy greater choice and flexibility when they travel with us, as SIA continues to adjust and expand our network in response to demand patterns.”
This newly announced expansion includes raising flight frequencies to pre-pandemic levels across multiple points and, in some cases, even exceeding them.
Destinations that benefit from increased frequency include Dubai (UAE), Beijing and Shanghai (China), Da Nang (Vietnam), Darwin, Melbourne, and Perth (Australia), Tokyo-Haneda (Japan) and many others.
From 31 March 2024, SIA will mount a new four-times weekly service between Singapore and Dubai (SQ496 and SQ497) with the A350-900 medium-haul aircraft. This will bring services between the two cities from seven-times weekly to 11-times weekly, exceeding pre-pandemic levels. Tickets will be available for sale progressively through SIA’s various distribution channels.DUBAI TO SINGAPORE SCHEDULE
