Emirates has called time on its daily 777-300 service between Singapore and Melbourne.
The Gulf carrier said it will determine the termination date of the
EK404/405 Singapore–Melbourne service after receiving the final
assessment of the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore
(CCCS).
“When the termination date is finalised, Emirates will communicate
changes to affected passengers and offer them alternative travel
arrangements,” Emirates said in a statement.
Emirates will continue to connect Singapore to Dubai with four-daily
flights and Melbourne to Dubai nonstop with two-daily A380 flights.
Connectivity between Melbourne and Singapore will now be offered via Emirates’ codeshare partner Qantas’ double daily flights.
Singapore Airlines currently flies the Singapore-Melbourne route five
times daily, and Turkish Airlines and Scoot once per day each.
