SIA raises A380 London frequency
Singapore Airlines is adding more flights using double decker Airbus A380s on the London-Singapore route.
Four additional services using the new aircraft will run on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays from this week.
The increase in A380 services to London follows the delivery of the airline’s fifth superjumbo from manufacturers last month.
The new services are in addition to the current daily A380 flights SQ 322 (Singapore-London) and SQ 317 (London-Singapore). They boost the number of A380 flights between the two cities from seven to 11 times a week.
There will be a temporary break in A380 operations on SQ 318 (Singapore-London) and SQ 321 (London-Singapore) from July 31 to August 9 as the aircraft will be deployed to Beijing for a week to cater for increased demand in the lead-up to the start of the Olympic Games.
SIA marketing and regions executive vice-president Huang Cheng Eng said: “The A380 products have been very well received by our customers, and loads on the Singapore-London route have been exceptionally encouraging.
“The deployment of another A380 on this route will cater to continual strong demand from customers traveling between Singapore and London.â€
