Singapore Airlines will offer a permanent fifth daily service from Sydney Airport, starting 27 October 2024.
The early morning daily flight will be available for the six-month Northern Winter season, subject to regulatory approvals.
This new flight means Sydney Airport will become the largest port for
in the airline’s network from Changi Airport, with more than 12,000
seats available for passengers each week.
The airline is also offering the fifth daily supplementary service
during the upcoming Christmas holiday peak from 2 December to 14
January.
Three other airlines operate between Sydney and Singapore: Qantas, British Airways, and Scoot.
Low-cost carrier Scoot, a subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, is also
increasing capacity and will offer 12 weekly return flights between
Sydney and Singapore starting in December.
From December, all four airlines will offer a total of 69 return flights weekly between Sydney and Singapore.
Geoff Culbert, CEO of Sydney Airport, said, “Sydney Airport is proud
to be Singapore Airlines’ home away from home, and it is clear that
Sydneysiders can’t get enough of their world class service.
"Not only will this extra flight from Singapore Airlines offer
Australians heading overseas more choice, but it will also help boost
the number of visitors, especially from Asia and Europe.
"It looks like 2024 is going to be a bumper year for international
travel at Sydney Airport, with extra capacity coming online not just
from Singapore but also from other key markets, including China and
Indonesia."
Singapore Airlines regional vice president South West Pacific, Louis
Arul said, “Demand for travel to and from Sydney has bounced back
strongly from the pandemic and the additional daily service will provide
further room for growth as travellers enjoy more connecting options
through Singapore Changi Airport to major cities in Asia and Europe.”
