Singapore Airlines plans to boost capacity on existing routes between Singapore and Perth, Shanghai, and Cape Town when the Northern Winter schedule comes into effect on 29 October 2006. Singapore Airlines will fly three times daily from Singapore to Perth in Western Australia, up from its current 19 flights a week. The extra flights will provide a daily late night departure from Singapore, and a morning departure from Perth, improving connections to China, India and the West Coast, USA.
Three more weekly flights will be added to Shanghai`s existing four times daily frequency, and from 1 March 2007, flights will increase to five a day.
Flights between Singapore and South Africa, will increase from eight-times-weekly to ten-times-weekly with the introduction of two additional, non-stop flights to Cape Town from 16 February 2007. Daily flights between Johannesburg and Singapore will remain, in addition to the three weekly Cape Town flights. The flights will boost capacity and help cater to the demand for leisure tourism to the Cape Province, especially from North Asia and Australia.
With these increases, Singapore Airlines will operate more than 700 weekly flights across its global passenger network, which covers 65 cities in 35 countries.
