Singapore Airlines Australia Flights
An analysis of Cirium data spanning from December to March reveals that during this southern aviation summer (northern winter), Singapore Airlines accounts for approximately 58% of all non-stop services.
The cessation of Silk Air, which was integrated into Singapore Airlines, has resulted in a roughly 7% increase in flights compared to the southern summer of 2019/2020.
However, the number of seats available for purchase has experienced a slight decrease of around 1%. This indicates an ongoing recovery.
Singapore Airlines’ network from Changi Airport is detailed as follows, showcasing variations in frequencies around the peak Christmas and New Year period to meet heightened demand:
- Melbourne: five daily (four from the end of March); operated with A350-900 and 777-300ER.
- Sydney: four to five daily (five from December 2nd to January 13th); operated with A380, A350-900, and 777-300ER.
