Singapore Airlines is implementing schedule changes in the Northern Winter period (31 October 2010 – 26 March 2011), which will result in higher frequency on selected routes. The adjustments are in response to further growth in demand for travel.
The Airline is increasing capacity to Australia with a second daily Airbus A380 service on the Singapore-Sydney route. The second 471-seat A380 service SQ231/SQ222, replace the 278-seat Boeing 777-300ER aircraft which currently operates the flight. Total Singapore-Sydney frequency will be unchanged at four flights per day.
“With the double daily A380 service from Singapore Airlines, Sydney Airport now handles 84 A380 movements each week with services from Singapore Airlines, Emirates and Qantas.
“The additional passengers flying on this service will also get to experience the benefits of Sydney Airport’s upgraded International Terminal with more space and new passenger facilities including waiting areas, retail outlets, and new business class lounge.
“Singapore Airlines made the world’s first commercial A380 flight in 2007 on the Singapore to Sydney route.
“Sydney Airport is the National Gateway and is conveniently located just 8 kilometres from the Sydney CBD making it is easily accessible for both business and leisure travellers.
"Expanding Sydney's access to the global aviation network strengthens Sydney as a global city and enhances our attractiveness as an international tourist destination,” Mr Balding said.
