Singapore Airlines To Increase A380 Services To London Heathrow
22 May 2008 More Singapore Airlines customers flying to and from London will soon enjoy the carrier’s world-renowned A380 cabin products and flying experience.
The Airline will add an additional A380 service on the Singapore-London route on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
The world’s largest passenger aircraft will be used to operate flights SQ 318 from Singapore to London Heathrow, and the returning flight, SQ 321. This is in addition to the current daily A380 service operated on flights SQ 322 (Singapore-London) and SQ 317 (London-Singapore).
The additional service will boost the number of Singapore Airlines A380 flights between the two cities to 11 times a week, up from 7. “Our 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,” said Mr Huang Cheng Eng, Singapore Airlines Executive Vice President Marketing and Regions.
The increase in A380 services to London will follow the scheduled delivery of Singapore Airlines’ fifth A380 aircraft from manufacturers, Airbus, in late June 2008.
The new A380 service between Singapore and London will take effect from 16 July 2008. However, there will be a temporary break in A380 operations on SQ 318 (Singapore-London) and SQ 321 (London-Singapore) from 31 July 2008 to 9 August 2008 inclusive 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.
Customers may purchase tickets via the Singapore Airlines website, singaporeair.com, or through their travel agent.
A Northern Summer schedule of the Singapore Airlines A380 operations on the Singapore-London route is as follows: Flight Number Days of Operation Departure Time Arrival Time SQ 318 Singapore-London (16 July 2008 - 30 July 2008; and from 10 August 2008 onwards) Monday Wednesday Friday Sunday 1245 hours 1910 hours SQ 321 London-Singapore (16 July 2008 - 30 July 3008; and from 10 August 2008 onwards) Monday Wednesday Friday Sunday 2205 hours 1755 hours next day SQ 322 Singapore-London (Current Service) Daily 2330 hours 0555 hours next day SQ 317 London-Singapore (Current Service) Daily 1155 hours 0745 hours next day Note to Editors
The Singapore Airlines A380 features the new Singapore Airlines Suites, where each Suite is the customer’s very own private cabin in the sky.
It is also configured with the new award-winning Business Class, which boasts the widest seat in its class in a spacious 1-2-1 configuration on the upper deck, as well as the New Economy Class, which delivers more comfort and legroom thanks to the use of innovative design.
With more than 1000 entertainment options found on the new KrisWorld, Singapore Airlines’ inflight entertainment system, meals created by Singapore Airlines panel of international chefs and the attentive service by the Singapore Airlines cabin crew, the Singapore Airlines A380 experience is truly memorable.
