Singapore Airlines extends 96 percent capacity cuts until end of June
Singapore Airlines says it will continue to suspend most flights until the end of June.
It will continue running a skeleton schedule until then at less than 5% of its normal capacity.
It is currently flying to only 15 cities.
It includes Tokyo, London and Los Angeles as well as six Southeast Asian cities.
SIA said it will adjust services in response to any further rule changes made by the Singapore government or foreign authorities in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
SIA group normally serves more than 100 destinations in dozens of countries.
Impacted customers who choose to retain a credit voucher rather than opt for a refund will get a bonus credit value when rebooking their flights.
The airline is seeking to raise billions to strengthen its coffers.
SIA Group said passenger traffic was down more than 60% in March.
The airline says the current situation is ‘the greatest challenge in its history’ causing ‘an unprecedented impact on the business.’
