Singapore Airlines to operate new A350 from Manchester
Singapore Airlines will operate its new Airbus A350-900 aircraft on its Manchester routes serving Singapore and Houston.
The flight will launch on January 17 2017 and will be the first commercial A350 flight from Manchester Airport.
The development enhances the new non-stop Singapore Airlines routes to Singapore and Houston from Manchester, which launched on October 30.
Singapore Airlines general manager UK and Ireland Sheldon Hee said: "We are now able to offer customers our Premium Economy cabin, which offers priority check-in, a wider seat and 13-inch touch screen monitor.
"Our new A350 services are a commitment to keep investing in delivering an ever better experience for our customers in the north, and with our recent codeshare partnership with FlyBe, we will be offering convenient access to Singapore Airlines from even more cities."
